Review:
Advance praise for "Honeymoon in Tehran""
"
"This perfect blend of political commentary and social observation is an excellent choice for readers interested in going beyond the headlines to gain an in-depth understanding of twenty-first-century Iran."
"-Booklist"
"A rare, rich glimpse inside a closed society."
"-Kirkus Reviews "
"A story of coming-of-age in two cultures [written] with a keen eye and a measured tone."
"-Publishers Weekly"
"Sharp and written with ferociously brilliant reporting, "Honeymoon in Tehran", Azadeh Moaveni's nuanced perspective on her ancestors' homeland, is without peer."
-Gary Shteyngart, author of "Absurdistan"
""Honeymoon in Tehran" is a timely, well-written, and intimate exploration of the soul of Iran. With an eye for detail and a feel for her subject matter, Moaveni has brought to life a country that is at once immensely important to the West and deeply misunderstood. Honest, perceptive, and nuanced, this tale of love and anguish in the Islamic Republic is brimming with poignant political insights. This book will enchant and educate."
-Vali Nasr, author of "The Shia Revival: How Conflicts Within Islam Will Shape the Future"
"At a time when Iranian journalists were jailed and their newspapers regularly shut down, "Time" magazine correspondent Azadeh Moaveni managed to give voice to the Iranian psyche. Fearlessly, Moaveni pushed the limits of her Iranian government minder and refused to be intimidated. Her stories revealed the internal turmoil felt by many Iranians decades after the revolution. "Honeymoon in Tehran" is a powerful and compelling read that gives a face to the voices of discourse in Iran, voices that still long for a lawful society."
-Davar Ardalan, senior producer at NPR News and author of "My Name Is Iran"
"From the Hardcover edition."
