Coming of Age
Strange, interesting read, but I could never quite get into it.
A story that will move you slowly, but stay with you long after it's done. Similar in location and time period to Persephone, and thematically comparable to Etaf Rum's work, this is sad but hopeful. Women in Iran do not have easy lives, but daydreaming creates a world this one can survive in.

Additionally I felt the author used extreme cases to prove wrongs in cases that were called shams but offered no solutions to solve the problem of an overabundance of people trying to achieve asylum status, while in fact admitting to some of her own "shams" to get what she wanted.… (altro)
