Things I've Been Silent about by Azar Nafisi
Absorbing . . . a testament to the ways in which narrative truth-telling--from the greatest works of literature to the most intimate family stories--sustains and strengthens us.--O: The Oprah Magazine In this stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, Azar Nafisi shares her memories of living in thrall to a powerful and complex mother against the backdrop of a country's political revolution. A girl's pain over family secrets, a young woman's discovery of the power of sensuality in literature, the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by upheaval--these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and reminds us of why we read in the first place (Newsday). Praise for Things I've Been Silent About Deeply felt . . . an affecting account of a family's struggle.--New York TimesA gifted storyteller with a mastery of Western literature, Nafisi knows how to use language both to settle scores and to seduce.--New York Times Book Review
An immensely rewarding and beautifully written act of courage, by turns amusing, tender and obsessively dogged.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A lyrical, often wrenching memoir.--People
