Summary: The Heart Rending Story of the Life of a Former Student
Review: Azar Aryanpour tells her story and that of Dr. Shoja Sheik with heart rending clarity. Many facts are now clarified for me. I was one of the faculty that helped Shoja in his pursuit of becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon. Three times I visited in Iran, once for a month as he set up a residency at the "Shafa Hospital". The tragic story now clarified by his former wife moved me deeply.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: I think this book was very well written and showcases pre and post revolution Iran with great clarity. Once taken up for reading, putting it down is difficult!

Summary: A Great Book
Review: Make sure that you have a lot of time before you start reading this book, because it is going to be very hard to put down. I found myself reading this book in the middle of class, anxiously wanting to find out what happens next. This book is very touching and emotional, making you feel as though you are right there alongside her through the story. She also does a great job at explaining who is who in book (former iranian officials). I only have one criticism, and that is when she referred to Baha'is as atheists. Such a statement is untrue, and highly offensive to Baha'is who have been tortured and murdered because of such ignorance. But overall, I praise her for this book.
