Fantastic modern love story centred around two fascinating characters who seem so well suited yet so different from each other. This book has the reader wishing the two get together throughout despite the challenges faced by their relationship. The story is now also available as a compelling and well executed TV show adaptation.

Fun imaginative story with several interesting characters and story line developments which centres round the imaginative demise of a Pakistani leader.

An interesting narrative of revolutionary Iran narrated by the author, an English literature professor. Perhaps at times Nafisi focuses on other literature too much, rather than narrating the altogether more compelling lives of "her girls" from her book club. Nevertheless, by the end the story finally centres more around the girls and therefore satisfies the reader.
