Colorful, full of memorable details, the memoirs of A. Nafisi, daughter of the mayor of Tehran, depict the dramatic history of one family against the backdrop of political upheaval in Iran. Nafisi's father, a brilliant politician, ends up in prison, and some time after his release, leaves the family. Her mother, with whom Nafisi has extremely difficult relations, is elected to the country's parliament. But due to the revolution, she is forced to resign and, like all Iranian women, wear the hijab.
