***LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION******A 2026 ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING FINALIST******LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING***IN SEPTEMBER 2022, in response to the death of Mahsa J�na Amini in police custody, after being arrested and beaten for not wearing her hijab properly, thousands of Iranians - mostly women - took to the streets in one of the country's largest uprisings in decades: the Woman, Life, Freedom movement. Despite the threat of imprisonment or death for her work as a journalist, Fatemeh Jamalpour joined the throngs of people fighting to topple Iran's religious extremist regime. Meanwhile, Nilo Tabrizy was covering the protests from New York, knowing that spotlighting the brutality of the Iranian government meant she would not be able to safely return to her birth country. Though they had only met once, united by sisterhood and shared purpose, Nilo and Fatemeh corresponded constantly as they worked to shed light on what was happening on the ground. For the Sun After Long Nights is their extraordinary and deeply moving chronicle of the spirit and legacy of this historic movement, as well as the history, geopolitics and influences that led to this pivotal moment.
