This book turned out to be something else than I thought. In my ignorance I somehow assumed Southern Azerbaijan is a region of Azerbaijan, just in the south of the country. And then I realized it was the Iranian Southern Azerbaijan and ended about reading a book about the political changes in Iran in the 1980s. The story was interesting in general, but to someone who's not the most familiar with the intricacies of Iranian history of that time, there are too many shortcuts in the narrative. The reader is taken on a rollercoaster of events, characters, time shifts etc. It gets a bit too hectic in places. But it being (supposedly) based on a true story gives it a bit more credit. All in all it's an okay read, but publishing could be better, it's not pleasant to see typos every once in a while.
