I couldn't put the book down. The writing was imaginative, well constructed and an excellent first novel for Dalia Sofer. Perhaps the end flagged a little in that there were no last minute hitches to the escape from Iran by Isaac, his wife Fernaz and their daughter Shirin. Nevertheless, the story flowed throughout and gave an insight into how people are caught up in crisis situations when roles in society are often reversed and those in upper echelons are brought down while those the in lower echelons rise to power.
