His book Spijkerschrift is also translated into English: My father's notebook: a novel of Iran.

Het Huis van de Moskee (in English: The House of the Mosque) by Kader Abdolah. Beautifully written, interesting characters, against the backdrop of Iran from like, 1950s to 1980s.
It was the first book of that author I read, and boy he did not disappoint.

Describing someone having "black hair" or "sun-kissed skin" aren't exactly unique racial aspects that one is born with, but I have seen writers avoid describing the colour of one's skin for example. Works well I think.
