A fascinating novel about a real story of life, love, deception, doubts, destruction, courage, terrible times, dangerous decisions, and destiny.

In dilemma between deep rooted traditional and religious values of her family and society and the modern world, Niki, at her childhood, suffers a lot, and at her early twenties, struggles, in vain, to find and prove her own identity and determination.

The reader anxiously follows Niki through her rough journey of life, sympathizes with her, angers at her, and shares her hopes, anxieties, adventures and dangerous moments

I think her phenomenal situation would be of certain value for those who are interested in the study of social change and cultural integration.

In short, the variety and complex issues of Niki's life and her amazing story would attract and impress every reader with different visions and interest. It did for me and I could not put the book aside till finishing it to the end of her movie like story, many shots of which has remained in my memory, as the unforgettable.

A must read book. Highly recommended

When I started reading this book, I could not imagine that this real life story can be so exciting.

I could hardly put down the book. The continuity and chain of the events drag the reader. It triggers the reader's curiosity to keep on reading.

This book also give a broad image of the Iranian society before and after Islamic revolution. It is really amazing and is a very good candidate for a movie scenario.


I highly suggest that Hollywood producer should consider this book as movie project.

Hard to put down!

This book is an amazing read of a true life story of the Author Niki Bahara. Niki pictures in the book a combination of cultural boundaries, social revolution, family relationships, love, deceit and manipulations that led to decisions that took her life on a hardly imaginable road. Niki takes you with her on this journey as you read the book. It is a journey on a road that many of us just feel blessed not to travel in real life. Yet, at the same time the story of Niki's life is a story of human survival. Showing how strong we can be as we persist and demand better lives for ourselves and for our families. It is quiet inspiring. It is hard to put down the book once you start. It is a very enjoyable and a must read.
