Recensione:

'Guppy s memoir of life in Iran before the Ayatollahs is exquisite. It conveys a sense of the country and its customs, which reveal better than most documents, the nature of the crisis which Iran is still enduring.' --William Shawcross, Sunday Times

'One of the best books of the 20th century... Stands comparison with 'Out of Africa'.' --John Train, author and co-founder of the Paris Review

L'autore:

Shusha Guppy is a journalist and musician.
