Great Read

This book was a delight. It was easy to read, interesting, informative and insightful. I got to see the ordinary everyday life of Iran and as a bonus got the authors "spiritual" insights on each of the stories. I wish everyong would read this book. It is so important for all of us in the world to see our similarities. I think this book promotes peace.

A Must Read

A breath of fresh air. The Author has an insight to human character.This book has compassion, love, and humor. This kind of literature about Iran is rare. Some characters are unforgettable. I liked the Taxi Driver's story, very funny.It was refreshing to read a book on Iran outside of the sensationalized headline news.I have a much better idea of these people now. I recommend it.

A human view of another culture

This book sheds a refreshing and human light on the people of an ancient and noble culture much maligned here in the west. These stories are full of heart and humor; a touching personal view of regular folks living, working, and going about there daily lives. These stories are bound to resonate with the reader and will leave you with a smile and an understanding that we are all the same poeple with the same loves, dreams, and hardships, regardless of which side of the world we live on. Well worth reading!

Deep and compassionate

A friend of mine gave it to me to read. I was not sure that I'll like it. I liked it very much. Easy to read and to the point. It is filled with charming characters and lessons about life. After reading this, I felt as if I went to Iran and visited all the places that the author talked about. I learned a few things about their culture also. I recommend this charming book.
