Elise reviewed Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali
Heartbreaking, Inspiring
4 stars
Watching Ellie and Homa move through the world, first as young people full of hope, then as disillusioned adults, moving on separate but entertwined paths in life as the ground is swept out from under them, over and over was terribly moving. Once the story got going the pages flicked by faster than I could realize. Two people on the jagged edge of forces totally beyond their control and what they do in the face of it nearly drove me to tears several times. Definitely reccomended.
