I know not having roots in Iran, it isn't really my issue--but I sort of got through this book reminded of the age old tension between "embittered" expats and their ability to appeal to western egos versus people who sort of purport themselves to be nationalists. Not knowing much, my initial instinct was that this book REALLY appeals to the western ego. At an instinctual level it re-affirmed for me that women are better off in America. Whether or not that was the intended effect, I don't know. I also don't know if that is an appropriate feeling to have. For some reason, I think this book just brought out that "the west is best" chauvinism in me and I don't trust it.

Masterpiece. Gut wrenching.
