Author launches the patriarch's family

Exclussive Books bookshop at Riverwalk on Friday evening treated the public to the book launch of local novelist, Esfandiar Ghodrati's The Patriarch's Family. The Patriarch's Family is a novel about heartbreak, love and redemption and even as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words," the lackluster cover of the book should not inform a decision to judge this book by its cover.

This novel is nothing short of exciting and can be enjoyed by a range of readers who fall under different age groups since the novel tells the stories of people ranging from children to grandmothers. Ghodrati's inspiration for the novel is drawn from his personal experience and his family.  "The book is about true things that happened to me and my family and they are realistic things that can happen to anyone so people of all different ages can relate to it," he pointed out.

Ghodrati is a 57-year-old father of two who has been living in Botswana for over 20 years. He is a qualified engineer and is the owner of businesses in Canada and Botswana. Although Botswana is where he calls his home, he has travelled the world and had the pleasure of meeting people of  different races and religions.This is the author's first book and is published in the United States. The Patriarch's Family is indeed a must-read for anyone who believes in family values and parents might find this book particularly interesting.
