Cinthia’s Reviews > The Lion Women of Tehran > Status Update

The author paints such a vivid picture of life in a small apartment with a difficult mother. Impossible not to draw a parallel with my own experience with The General, aka my mother. The arguments and excuses Ellie uses to justify her mother’s behavior. The inevitable jealousy when she visits her friend. Kamali gets this human experience exactly right.

Three chapters in and I'm already in awe. THIS is how you put a reader somewhere.
