Easy read, good for book clubs, or English classes. America from the point of view of an immigrant family.
Flowing, full of expressions, funny but serious. Gives a window into Iranian culture.
I have traveled to middle east number of times and must say that she paints fairly good picture of her culture.
Some words are difficult or unusual. Over all well written even though the time frame is a little disorganized, but well fitted together.
Don't pass on this one.
