Things I've Been Silent About - Memories of a Prodigal Daughter

William Heinemann, 2009. Good second-hand condition.

Nafisi, the author of `Reading Lolita in Tehran' now gives us a stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, memories of her life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against a background of a country's political revolution. A girl's pain over family secrets; a young woman's discovery of the power of sensuality in literature; the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by political upheaval - these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir.
