A review by anne978
Things I've Been Silent About by Azar Nafisi

3.0

Several years ago, I read an article in De Volkskrant about this book, where it was praised by the reviewer. I think I expected something a little different, but it was interesting anyway. The author talks about growing up in pre-Khomeini Iran and especially about her relationship with her parents. It was very interesting to read a personal history of someone in such a different culture and country, living during revolutionary times, but also seeing one person's way of looking at that world. I hardly ever read non-fiction, and I've never read memoirs, but this was a nice first.
