This is a very good book written by an Iranian woman about her life in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution. The author uses her experiences as a university professor and leader of a book club to illustrate the struggle of many Iranians of the time to continue to live their lives fully despite growing societal oppression by the fundamentalist Islamic regime. Her students\' study of primarily western literature provides illustration of their struggles.
