I felt that the author had an inflated sense of her knowledge of literature. Instead of focusing on the relationships and the women in her book club, she spent the book discussing works of literature. It was hard work to read. When the author did come back to the stories of the women, I couldn't remember who they were because it had been so long since we'd focused on them. There are better books out there about life in Iran.
