Description

"Absorbing... a testament to the ways in which narrative truth-telling -- from the greatest works of literature to the most intimate family stories -- sustains and strengthens us." -- O: The Oprah Magazine

In this stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, Azar Nafisi shares her memories of living in thrall to a powerful and complex mother against the backdrop of a country's political revolution. A girl's pain over family secrets, a young woman's discovery of the power of sensuality in literature, the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by upheaval -- these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and "reminds us of why we read in the first place" (Newsday).

BONUS: This edition contains a Things I've Been Silent About discussion guide.
