JoAnn G. (bookwoman28) reviewed on 6/10/2006 + 166 more book reviews

Born in Palo Alto, CA, to an Iranian family exiled by the Islamic Revolution, the author always felt torn by her inability to connect physically with her lost homeland. As a correspondent for Time magazine, she moves to Iran at the end of the 1990's to experience firsthand the restlessness of the youth, and their resistance to the Islamic extremists who dominate politically, and attempt to control every facet of personal life. This book is her personal story of a search for a homeland that may no longer exist. A Kirkus Reviews "Best Book of the Year."
