Alice in Mullah Land: A Novel by Amir H Taheri

5-Star Review — Readers’ Favorite “Some violent and sad scenes made me cry… Taheri does an excellent job of pacing his work… I strongly recommend that everyone read Alice in Mullah Land.” — Juan Lynch, Readers’ Favorite Alice has always felt there was something she didn’t understand about her father—about the years he spent in the Middle East, and the silences that followed him home. Those silences linger in her life, mirroring her own sense of incompletion: unfinished art, unanswered questions, and an uneasy distance from the world around her. After an accident, Alice wakes in a place called Mullah Land. It is a lush, unsettling world governed by sacred rules and quiet terror. Clerics preside. Citizens comply. Language shifts meaning. Fear passes for virtue, and obedience is mistaken for faith. As Alice moves through this strange theocracy, she begins to sense the contradictions beneath its rituals and the costs hidden inside its certainties. Power wears many faces here, and survival often demands silence. But seeing clearly—once it begins—is difficult to undo. A surreal political fable about authority and belief, inheritance and identity, and the dangerous act of awakening.
