"In Iran in the late 90s, Azar Nafisi and 7 young women, her former students, met every Thursday to discuss forbidden works of Western literature. shy and uncomfortable at first, they began to open up - not only about the novels they were reading but also about their dreams and disappointments. This gives a rare glimpse of women's lives in revolutionary Iran."

I found it a bit difficult at first, as the author jumps between times and places from one chapter to the next or even within one chapter. So I had to read it as a memoir, one chapter at a time without trying to connect it to something I had read in the previous chapter. And then it worked ;-)

Will be taken to the meetup tomorrow.

I took this book home from last week´s meetup, as it looked quite interesting.
