Three generations. Two revolutions. One truth waiting to be spoken. On a spring afternoon in 1998 Toronto, Simorgh Azardad sits in her car, hands trembling on the steering wheel, knowing she must finally speak a truth that could shatter everything or set her free. But to understand how she arrived at this breaking point, her story must begin decades before her birth, with her mother’s forbidden love and her grandparents’ volatile marriage in the opulent estates of northern Iran. Born in Iran and shaped by revolution and war, Simorgh immigrated to Canada at 21, navigating the disorienting transition between two worlds while carrying a secret she could not yet speak. In this unflinching debut memoir, she weaves together three generations of fierce women, dangerous choices, and political upheaval with her own journey toward living authentically. Trailing In The Fog reveals how the passions and silences of mothers and grandmothers shape the daughters who come after and what it costs to finally break free. A powerful story of inheritance and identity, Trailing In The Fog asks what we owe to the generations before and after us and what we owe to ourselves.
