Things I've Been Silent About: Memories by Azar Nafisi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was hoping to learn from Nafisi's book something about life in Iran, practically a closed country to me and especially in the turbulent history of Iran's revolution and the Iraq-Iran War. All that is a back drop to Nafisi's memoir, which covers abuse and adoration of literature, her parents and her professional career despite them. An achingly honest telling, this is a very telling and human tale of a triumphant and difficult life against personal and political odds.
