This book rec'd stellar reviews on another site. I wish I could agree. I was looking forward to an exploration of pre-revolution Iranian culture and emotion but both the writing and the story (in my opinion) were incredibly choppy so I've just had to put it down. The story is also told from the two main characters' perspectives and I had a hard time trying to figure out which character was speaking. A nice touch would have been to title each chapter with the character's name who was speaking--it would have made it much easier when picking up the book after not reading for a while. Eventually, I found myself skimming a third to a half of it. After 150 pages, I lost interest and abandoned it.
One last thing, from other reviewers who have finished it: it is advertised as a romance but apparently it is not so if you're looking for something in that genre this may not be for you.
