The novel targets the market for high-quality epic fiction about Iran and Shiite Moslem culture in terms accessible to the West. At times tragic, at times humorous, The House That War Minister Built will appeal to readers with a thirst for novel cultural experiences and readers who want to learn while they enjoy..
