A fascinating look at political upheaval in Iran from the 1950s through early 80s through the lens of a woman navigating life and friendship. Amazing.
Highly readable while having complex characters and plot. Generally excellent writing. Also, I personally really like a historical fiction book about a subject/time period I’m unfamiliar with that has me reaching for google to expand my understanding beyond the story. This hits that goal out of the park.
