High school read
I first read this in High school as required reading. It was on the banned book list. No one seems to know that even existed today. Well it did. and this book was on there. But I had a great English teacher who made us read it and my mom whole heartedly approved. Good ol' mom and my teacher. This is a timeless classic, with a lot of childhood nostalgia. Make your teens read it, read it with them, and do a book review at home. This will help your kids understand the English language, give insight into reading comprehension, and is very interesting actually.

Pretty good book
So the book is set at the very beginning of the Iranian Revolution – Marco is an American English teacher who’s come to Iran for a year. While there, he falls in love with his roommate’s cousin. The book is really their love story, while surrounded by political and religious unrest.

The writing is excellent. I’m sure I would get more out of the book if I could read Farsi, as each chapter is begun by a few lines of poetry in Farsi, written in both Arabic script and English letters. But the pacing is perfect, the descriptions apt – I really enjoyed this book.
