review 1: A charming tale of an Iranian mother and her Iranian-American daughter. Despite the existing generation and culture gap, both women embark on a journey to search for their home, their hearts, and ultimately themselves. This story is wonderfully relate-able and I found most of the characters charming, especially the father.However, I did find myself getting mildly annoyed at Mina at times for her whiny-ness and lack of awareness. The climax in the book was supposed to be the realization of the character's awakening, but to me, I just wanted to shout at her ... were you thinking?!That said, Marjan Kamali really has a talent for imagery. My favorite part was the walk in the park - it was so beautifully described that I can imagine every leaf, snowflake. All in all, this ... morewas a rich, deep book packaged in a light, feel-good easy to read manner. I enjoyed it.Sidenote: I listened to this book in audio format and the reader was excellent. 5/5
review 2: Darya, an Iranian immigrant living in New York, has found the perfect gift for her daughter Mina's 25th birthday; using spreadsheets and matchmaking skills, she has found her an ideal husband. Mina is fed up with her mother's endless attempts to find a husband for her. After the latest ill-fated attempt, mother and daughter make the journey back to Iran, the country they fled 15 years ago. While immersed in Persian culture, the two women come to understand each other. But when Mina falls for an Iranian American while on their trip, will the new found appreciation between mother and daughter survive?I really enjoyed this story; it was charming, but at the same time, it was not just "lightweight chick lit" either. Even though there is some romance in it, it is not the main theme of the story, and it doesn't even happen until the last third of the book. At the heart of this story is the love between a mother and her daughter.I enjoyed reading about the Iranian culture, the beautiful parts of it that we never see through the news media. This story takes place in the years between 1978 and 1996. less
