I can't sing enough accolades about this book - four friends come of age in 1970's Iran who face the brutality of political repression as their relationships deepen. At times poignant and at times horrifying, this is a tremendous debut novel. Strong characters and intense feelings. Seraji mentions that at some point he will write a sequel after he completes a second novel...I, for one, can't wait to pick up where Pasha and Zari's story left off. Highly recommended whether you like a love story, reading about Persian culture or history, or are just in the mood for something worthwhile with a twist.
