Family Tales from Tehran

By Manijeh Badiozamani

Book Overview

Manijeh Badiozamani takes us to her childhood home-her grandfather's house-near the Big Bazaar in Tehran, the teeming capital of Iran. Growing up between the traditional and the modern, she recreates the Tehran of the1940s and 1950s before she immigrated to the U.S. We meet her quirky family and friends and discover the impact they had on her life. The stories are laced with humor and, sometimes, sadness. After 40 years, when she returns to Tehran to care for her aging mother, the spotlight is on the cultural differences and the universal problems of aging.
