Taking Cover: One Girl's Story of Growing Up During the Iranian Revolution by Firoozeh Dumas, Nioucha Homayoonfar

4.0

A fascinating part of history -- Iran during the Shah's deposing and then the religious fanaticism that arose in his place, and seen from the eyes of a child. Nioucha's viewpoint is a bit broader -- her mother is French and she spent her first few years in America before her father went home to Iran.

On the other hand, her child's eye view is limited, and she doesn't really grasp most of what is going on.
