Iran Awakening

After getting further into the book, it reminds me more and more of Back to Afghanistan, but I feel much more attached to the author due to Shirin's in-depth personal details. She seems to have a way with her words and making readers feel as if they are the one suffering during the Iranian Revolution. One of the things I found most interesting about the book is when Shirin does something and then immediately looks for her husband's reaction, as if something is going to get him upset. For example, when her friends from law school come over, it is apparently custom for newly married women to devote themselves completely to their husbands and should no longer socialize with female friends. However, when Shirin's friends come over they are welcomed in by her husband, and he thinks nothing of it. It seems to me that the couple was raised in a similar situation, basing their childhood on trust and equality, as difficult that might have been in Iran at this time.
