Not what I thought it would be. I was hoping for more of a look at life in post Revolution Iran. And while there is indeed some of that, it's more like sitting in on a book club's meeting...only you haven't read the book and can't join the discussion. "Daughter of Persia" or "Honeymoon in Purdah" were much more interesting as far as looking at life in Iran.
