À propos de cet audio

 Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a brilliant new voice in contemporary YA.

Winner of the William C. Morris Debut Award

“Heartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. I’d live in this book forever if I could.”
—Becky Albertalli, award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He’s a Fractional Persian—half, his mom’s side—and his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life.

Darius has never really fit in at home, and he’s sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesn’t exactly help matters, and trying to explain his medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Soon, they’re spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city’s skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioush—the original Persian version of his name—and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he’s Darioush to Sohrab.

Adib Khorram’s brilliant debut is for anyone who’s ever felt not good enough—then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.

Captivating and easy to listen to. The narrator does a great job of different voices for each each character.

Awesome

This is an amazing book enhanced by the passionate reading of the narrator.
I ached with the soul of the young protagonist, reveled in his ability to survive through his bonds with science fiction and fantasy fiction and tea and Iranian food. The author builds the pace so well and never bends to the temptation to speed it up or hurry through. Every time I stopped listening, I felt I was leaving my heart behind with Darius and 'Mamoo' and 'Sorab' and 'Lale'. I have been reading for more than 50 years and I have rarely finished a novel in which I loved so many characters at the end. This is a book that breaks your heart and saves it, that lays bare the cruelty of the 'soulless minions of orthodoxy' and how we can, perhaps, survive despite it.
As far as I can tell, this is the author's only book. He really needs to write more. Please.

Touching, funny and it made me cry
