Review title: Not a memoir at all....
Product review: I was expecting details about the authors life in post revolutionary Iran and insight into women's lives there. This is not a memoir its really more of a very long essay comparing disjointed aspects of life to a few books.It only made me want to find a copy of Lolita. It got very boring and I am sad to say I put it down and didn't want to go near it again.I agree with the other one and two star reviews that the book is short on insight into the personal relationships (which I craved) and gets repetitive. I only need to read the same comparison once or twice in the same chapter! She also keeps repeating that she isn't comparing Humbert with Iran...but isn't she?I suspect in our post 9/11 zeal to embrace insight into from Muslim culture this book was placed on a high pedestal it honestly did not deserve. Sad, as I am sure there are other more deserving authors out there.
