I loved how this book created certain assumptions in the beginning, and later cleared things up, in a way only a nonfiction can do!Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-90887509721511046412010-05-24T01:26:12.553-04:002010-05-24T01:26:12.553-04:00I'm really glad you enjoyed this!

I totally agree about my perception of Nasser being wrong in the beginning, I couldn't figure out why he was so upset over something so seemingly stupid. I sympathized with his wife though.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878749520906342274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-9077702499848133972010-05-18T22:44:33.486-04:002010-05-18T22:44:33.486-04:00You seem to have got hold of my TBR list!

If you were sitting with me now, I will probably be raving about her to you. LOL!<br /><br />Kathy, Persepolis was so awesome! You should try her Embroideries and Chicken with Plums too!<br /><br />Juju, I hope you will try it!<br /><br />Alyce, I hope you get them! I didn't much realize she had other books either. Now I wish I hadn't read them, because I feel like reading more of her works.<br /><br />Carina, you should let me know how you find it, should you read it.<br /><br />Aarti, thank you! :) It was a great read, you should give it a try!Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-12833572920310916452010-05-18T12:52:30.803-04:002010-05-18T12:52:30.803-04:00This sounds really good- what a fabulous, thorough...This sounds really good- what a fabulous, thorough review you wrote!
