Through this collection of short vignettes, Hemila Pedram takes you on a personal journey of intimate encounters with memorable characters that she met in Iran. When Hemila visited Iran after twenty-eight years of living abroad, she thought she was going for a summer vacation. Her stay stretched to six months as her trip turned into a healing journey, and she met people whose quiet grace taught her extraordinary lessons about the beauty of the human spirit. Walk through Iran's streets and bazaars and discover the wisdom and humor of merchants, craftsmen, and ordinary people who have achieved extraordinary peace of mind and harmony in an unpredictable world. Hemila shares glimpses of everyday moments that offer universal lessons on love, compassion, and the beauty of being alive.

Deep and compassionate,
By andy "andy" (californa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bazaar Stories (Paperback)
A friend of mine gave it to me to read. I was not sure that I'll like it. I liked it very much. Easy to read and to the point. It is filled with charming characters and lessons about life. After reading this, I felt as if I went to Iran and visited all the places that the author talked about. I learned a few things about their culture also. I recommend this charming book.

This book was a delight. It was easy to read, interesting, informative and insightful. I got to see the ordinary everyday life of Iran and as a bonus got the authors "spiritual" insights on each of the stories. I wish everyong would read this book. It is so important for all of us in the world to see our similarities. I think this book promotes peace.
