Rezension von Agostina.4.5⭐ Oh, this was such a journey! I wasn't familiar with Iran, its culture and history. I found myself constantly looking up stuff while reading this book, and it was a wonderful experience. I also found myself having opinions on things that I have no business judging, but you read and you learn! You really end up feeling for these characters and rooting for them to live the lives they want to live.
