Born in southern Iran, Shiraz Nomad witnessed first-hand the upheaval of the 1979 Revolution and the violent repression that followed. His youth was marked by imprisonment, torture, and the constant struggle to survive in a regime determined to silence dissent. Forced into exile, he rebuilt his life in England, carrying with him the memories of a homeland scarred by loss yet rich in resilience.
​​​​​​​A Place We Used to Call Home is his first book, written as testimony for those who could not speak and as a reminder of the endurance of the human spirit.
