Book Reviews of Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope
Book Review: Her personal memoir of a country
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Shirin Ebadi's book, as I have been intrigued by her character and modesty ever since she won the Nobel Prize in 2003.
This is a book that says so much in a simple and classy language; A story of a woman's struggle- a very devotedly stubborn woman's struggle - to stand steadfast at her career, society, and family- in a country that had changed face and direction in a glimpse.
"Fortunately or unfortunately," [Ebadi's favourite opening statement], this is not a much awaited book of scandal, neither it is a recount of tragedy, reproach, or blame. It is a book where Ebadi -despite all she's been through- heralds in the future, and the awakening of Iran. It is a book of fundamentalism in its most beautiful form: of love, of patriotism, of unyielding will, and of upholding principles.
Critical but not offensive, inspiring but not patronizing. It is Shirin Ebadi's "private" memoir of a whole country.
