I found this book to be a delightful read, often out-loud-laughable. It is written so that I could easily place myself in its contemporary setting in an English village. But it is not all fun and games--it conveys a sobering message about relationships between men and women and between ethnicities.

I am so glad that I read this book. I was in Tehran for only a few days in 1964 and was struck by the beauty of the city, and the friendliness of the people. I had no idea that this was going on in that country at the time. It is an amazing history of the events that changed the future of Iran forever.

After my book club read several books about India and the situation there regarding women, slums, poverty, etc., I loudly proclaimed that I would never read another book about India. I had to eat those words when we decided to read and discuss this book. I loved it, even though all the above elements are still in it. Much, much better than the movie. The writing held my interest and I thoroughly loved the coincidences that led to Ram's victories.
