Notes From Your Bookseller

Look through a child's eyes at the most tumultuous and cataclysmic years in Iran's modern history in this terrifying and ultimately hopeful memoir.

In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, the author tells of her life in Tehran from ages 6 to 14, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq.
