This is a very interesting and well written story of an Iranian woman's conflict between her English life and her original life in Iran. Conflict arises between the mother and her daughter; the mother's return to Iran. It traces the mother's childhood in Iran; the daughter's confusion re her mother's Iranian life. This is an excellent novel which will stay with you a long time. I learned a lot more about Iran and the intensity of the customs.
