The Septembers of Shiraz

Author: Dalia Sofer
Bugs: 5
Review by: Kate Z Z

This poignant, clearly autobiographically-based novel tells the story of a family caught in the Iranian revolution. Somehow Sofer manages to tell the tale of horrific suffering with a tenderness that preserves the dignity of the characters while allowing the reader to experience profound sorrow at their suffering.
