Their Stories Intertwined With Those They Were Reading Pride And Prejudice, Washington Square, Daisy Miller And Lolita Their Lolita, As They Imagined Her In Tehran.

Azar Nafisi'S Luminous Tale Offers A Portrait Of The Iraniraq War Viewed From Tehran And Gives Us A Glimpse, From The Inside, Of Women'S Lives In Revolutionary Iran.
