We follow an Iranian family across four decades. Whether living in Tehran or Germany, they feel the loss of their Iranian homeland’s soul and keep hoping things will improve. This novel is a moving mixture of ordinary family life and political upheaval. It gave me the human faces behind the headlines.
The Revolution is getting older every week, but it hasn't even begun yet. The Shah has gone, and we're at the beginning of a new age, a new system, a new freedom for which we are now preparing ourselves.
What remains is the turmoil on the streets, but a little less so with each passing week.
