3.0 out of 5 stars Highpoint of Iranian Revolution, September 29, 2000

This review is from: Siege of Azadi Square (Paperback)

This is a great novel about a crucial moment in the 1979 Iranian Revolution. It chrocicles the friendship of three women in the days immediately after the Fall of the Shah and the ascendency of the counter-revolution (i.e. Khomeini's Islamic Republic). It also documents the tremendous activities of women in challenging the oppressive edicts of the new government. At a moment when Iran is going through a renewed period of openings, this novel shows some of the true heritage of the Iranian Revolution that needs to be built on. Wonder why no one has ever developed this book into a play or a movie? Get it!!!
