This book had me laughing so hard out loud at times. The author details life as an Iranian woman growing up in the United States. She appears to be transparent and is humble as to how she describes herself. Her father's antics make the book! She describes both cultures and their strengths and weaknesses. I love her tales of her family who are so tightly interwoven into each others' lives. I envy the relationships her kin fostered, and how her French husband accepted and embraced her "tribe". Awesome book that reads very quickly.
