Leeszaal Vreewijk donated this book for bookcrossing

In Iran in the late 90s, Azar Nafisi and seven 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 own dreams and disappointments. Their personal stories intertwine with those they are reading – Pride and Prejudice, The Great Gatsby and Lolita – in this rare glimpse of women's lives in revolutionary Iran. A work of great passion and beauty, it is an uplifting account of quiet resistance in the face of repression.

This book will be released at the mini BC meeting in Amsterdam. If nobody takes it, it will be released in the bookcase at the station for the next reader.

This book seems quite interesting, so I brought it with me from the meeting.
