I need everyone to read this book!! It’s beautiful and brutal and so compelling! I am NOT a historical fiction person but books like this make me believe I could be! Set in Tehran, Iraq this book follows two friends through the highest highs and lowest lows. The political turmoil is an important focus of this and I definitely learned something new. These are characters that will stay with you for a long time!
