A lot of substance deals with emotional agony and grief. <BR/>I remember reading 'A Million Little Pieces' and I had to put it down halfway, because it was too gross for me. This novel is way better than that.Happy Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05170475118277864013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411424946278611010.post-15058957994929720012007-09-09T19:13:00.000-07:002007-09-09T19:13:00.000-07:00Nice review.

Which is why I've been avoiding 'A million Little Pieces' as well.<BR/>Is this book one of those kinds?Radhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17019567538933256974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411424946278611010.post-22652052231673962052007-09-08T14:18:00.000-07:002007-09-08T14:18:00.000-07:00@Lotus ~ 'Septembers of Shiraz' will be my next re...@Lotus ~ 'Septembers of Shiraz' will be my next read! Do let me know your thoughts if you happen to read it!

I came here from Sanjay's blog and he, too, has read a novel set in the days after the Iranian revolution.<BR/><BR/>I see "Prisoner of Tehran" everywhere I go...it occupies a place of great prominence at our local bookstore and comes highly recommended by the owner,who is also a writer.<BR/><BR/>Interesting how Marina's life was spared at the last minute, but there's always a price to pay, isn't there? <BR/><BR/>I think this is a book I will enjoy reading, so this will go on my wishlist along with Dalia's Sofer's "The Septembers of Shiraz".<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the wonderful review, Chitts!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.com
