Wishing Well : Short Stories (Persian Edition)

Wishing well or Chah -e Arezo is a collection of short stories in the genre of fiction with a hint of psychology written by Zahra Pedram Jafari. This book consists of two sections; the first section includes stories in Iran. These stories cover the writer's perception of events, social interactions, culture, old customs and their impacts on people's daily lives and their self-growth.

The second section includes stories which cover events and interactions after immigrating to Australia. In these stories the writer tries to describe the struggles and experiences of characters and issues surrounding self-analyzing and self-growth in a new culture through narrating entertaining stories of their daily's lives.

We read in a part of this book: "self-satisfaction and happiness are not just an individual process. Even though self-satisfaction is an internal process, our surrounding environment, community and people have an undeniable role in provoking these feelings within us. We can't expect someone who has always been criticized and suppressed to be satisfied and happy."
