Book Reviews of My Name Is Iran: A Memoir

Book Review: A book by a luminous soul
Summary: 5 Stars

This autobiography is incandescent with the luminous spirit of the author.

She is articulate and honest about the experiences and uncertainties she encountered in the journey of her own life to date. Look at the photographs in the book: she radiates intelligence, light, and compassion--and so do her words.

The details of her Persian cultural legacy are fascinating, as are the dynamics of her supportive, closely knit family. The latter provides an example of how the values of immigrants can enrich the fabric of American society.

If you are attuned to pick up the more subtle energies (so to speak) of spirit, this book will be quite rewarding for you.
