Honeymoon in Tehran: Two Years of Love and Danger in Iran Audiobook

" This book provides very interesting perspective about internal workings in Iran. It is written by a Time corresponent who is Iranian American. It is well worthwhile. "

" 305.48 M Well written account of an American-Iranian journalist's return to Iran, her courtship with an Iranian man, their marriage, and first child during 2005-2007 when Ahmadinejad came to power as President.

I was very impressed with her fluid style of writing and colorful language. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I think the author did an excellent job of putting the rise of the current Iranian government, it's impact on the Iranian people, and on women in particular in such a way as to be enjoyable an interesting. She speaks of the country and it's people in such a way that I came away from the book with, I believe, a better understanding of the current plight in that country and a desire to visit... if, and hopefully when, a less repressive regime comes to power.
