I Loved hearing such sweet letters to Azar's father, sharing their passion for literature. It was great to hear her perspective, referencing their shared experienced as well as our current experience in the United States as they both intersect with a writer's works

It a time in which literature, and the freedom to read, is being challenged in America, this book highlights the power of stories to teach, inspire, uplift, and inspire change. I didn’t love the style of this book, written as a series of letters from the author to her father, but the information and reflection are essential.

I’ve read Reading Lolita In Tehran and found it fascinating and a quick read. This one took me two months. I found it slow to start, but I don’t know the books she was referencing. I understood the themes and ideas she explained, but found it quite slow. Once she used books and authors I’ve read, the book raced by and I really appreciated many of her insights.
