One summer, one smile, and suddenly everything changed.
Fourteen-year-old Chika has known Fariborz all her life. He is simply part of the family-the older boy next door, the promising medical student everyone already calls "Doctor."
Until one evening, he smiles at her.
And then he winks.
Suddenly, every glance means something. Every word becomes a promise. And Chika finds herself stumbling into the strange, exhilarating world of first love.
Set against the warm, restless summers of 1980s southern Iran, A Thousand Summers is a coming-of-age story about family, friendship, first love, and the ordinary days we never realize will become our most precious memories.
