The history of Iran just before, and following the revolution was interesting. I didn't care for the writing, however; and it was too long.

45/80

julieclair Did it make you sad? Angry? Frustrated? I‘m interested in reading this, but I‘m not sure I‘m up for it right now. So I‘m wondering how you felt… 1w

TheBookgeekFrau @julieclair The first 1/4 or so made me so depressed I wanted to vomit from hopelessness. But as I read on, I felt more thoughtful and hopeful. Some of my initial reaction has a bit of a personal bend to it. Hope that helps 😊 1w

I am so glad there wasn't a thing on my agenda today except to finish this book! I have to admit, at just shy of the halfway point, I was really wondering why there was such love for this book. Didn't take much longer to find out! There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said except, if you're thinking of reading it--do it!!

Another worthy #BlameItOnLitsy read! Thanks all 😊

The story really pulled me in from word one. I had a few eye roll moments, but over all I found it hard to put down.

TieDyeDude Agreed. I read it pretty soon after reading Rebecca, and it was fun to compare the two. 1mo
TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude That had to be a fun comparison! There were some definite Rebecca vibes; a little Shirley Jackson, Stephen King, and even some VC Andrews vibes, too 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1mo

What a fascinating imagining of the people who shared in the life of an ancient text. It really brings to mind just how much was lost in book burnings of yore.
