4.0

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The prose was beautiful, and several quotes throughout made me stop and think, which is rare sometimes and something I think should be applauded. The story is about immigrants fleeing Iran, something the author has experienced. I didn't know very much about the turmoil that happened in Iran, so it was eye-opening for me. But, I thought the characters were prone to being a little too stereotypical at times - almost came off as caricatures, which isn't easy to overlook.
