4.0
A powerful and moving story. Slow-paced at many many parts but it carefully tells a story spanning decades. Taught me about Persian history and culture. Her prose is stunning and it’s a very emotional, empowering story.

Marjan Kamali has done it yet again. this author can create such real characters that you love and feel frustration towards at different points in the book. this author can make me cry like almost no other.
