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

In this personal memoir, Azar Nafisi, author of 'Reading Lolita in Tehran', shares her memories of growing up in Iran. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the country's political and Islamic revolution, the narrative explores a life lived in the shadow of a complex mother and a father who escaped into classic Persian literature. By examining family secrets, the power of literature, and the price of personal freedom, the work offers both an intimate portrait of a family and a historical account of a homeland in transition.
