This is a wonderful story for literature lovers, because this is not simply the story of Nafisi, a professor who has to leave Iran, but her struggle to spread her knowledge to women denied it. Nafisi was educated in America, and returned “home” to Iran to teach, and this is an expression of her frustration with her/women’s lack of power, and her influence on these women’s lives. Each week, her and a few committed students gathered to talk about forbidden classics. A great read, because it explores her relationship with them, and their understanding of books such as “Lolita.”
