Saffron Sky: A Life between Iran and America
By Gelareh AsayeshThis lyrical memoir evinces the author's passion for constructing an American life with the spiritual fervor and deeply aesthetic rituals that were part of her childhood in Iran. Asayesh, who immigrated to North Carolina as a girl, writes too of her struggle to arrive at an acceptable sexuality in the face of parental panic, and tells of her frustration, during later trips to post-Shah Iran, with the sisters, the Ayatollah's ubiquitous enforcers of female modesty.
