À propos de cet audio

Jacqueline Saper, named after Jacqueline Kennedy, was born in Tehran to Iranian and British parents. At 18 she witnessed the civil unrest of the 1979 Iranian revolution and continued to live in the Islamic Republic during its most volatile times, including the Iran-Iraq War. In a deeply intimate and personal story, Saper recounts her privileged childhood in prerevolutionary Iran and how she gradually became aware of the paradoxes in her life and community - primarily the disparate religions and cultures.

In 1979 under the Ayatollah regime, Iran became increasingly unfamiliar and hostile to Saper. Seemingly overnight she went from living a carefree life of wearing miniskirts and attending high school to listening to fanatic diatribes, forced to wear the hijab, and hiding in the basement as Iraqi bombs fell over the city. She eventually fled to the United States in 1987 with her husband and children after, in part, witnessing her six-year-old daughter’s indoctrination into radical Islamic politics at school. At the heart of Saper’s story is a harrowing and instructive tale of how extremist ideologies seized a Westernized, affluent country and transformed it into a fundamentalist Islamic society.

I loved this book from start to end. It’s a story of survival, while thriving in Iran during the revolution. Jacqueline Saper gives is the unique look into the revolution as a Jewish woman, mother, wife, friend. Her attention to detail takes you to the bazaar, the bombings, the racisms and the misogyny in Iran at that time. Read this book!

An amazing memoir!

This book was great. Narrator was perfect for the story. It was like listening to a real life version of Orwell’s 1984.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning the history of Iran, a country that I knew very little about besides how it is now as the Islamic Republic. The beautiful descriptions painted a clear picture of the beautiful country and gave me a greater understanding of the culture and how it came to be. Beautifully written and captivating story.

Historical and heroic story
