I was MISLEAD!!
I heard about this book being a beautifully written historical fiction about love and loss set during a very politically tumultuous period in Iran's history.
All I got is a whiny character who is(in present timeline) living in america with her white husband and kids and grandkids (no, its not a spoiler)
This book was supposed to have a politically rich backdrop but ut turned out to be a just a love story about a one dimensional female character pinning for someone her whole life.
That is just something I would never have picked up .
It took me a lot of time to read such a short book.
If I really wanted to consume the kind of plot this book had, i'd watch the indian soap dramas my mother loves.
