The Lion Women of Tehran

I really wanted to root for this book as it felt like the main theme was the friendship between the main character but it seemed like the writing was inconsistent and unfocused. Changing narration perspective but not giving full focus or importance to the plot or the social experience of that culture was a miss. I also felt like using the specific timeline but not giving a more impactful feel of the struggle of the country and change of culture to their politics (which plays a big role) felt like maybe the author fell short in this opportunity to let readers learn the actual grandeur of this injustice. I wish the Epilogue was the manner the whole book was written and not an after thought.

It’s a work of art

Irresistible, nostalgic, I couldn’t put this book down.
