Review:

"In Kazemi's novel all the prototypes of the socially victimized woman exist, from the beautiful young girl in love with a noble and penniless young man, harassed by greedy, insensitive parents, to the duped and penitent 'fallen woman'." The New York Times bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran - Dr. Azar Nafisi
