My Persian teacher made me read it in summer school because she totally wanted to fuck me. She had a big nose and huge titties. No lie.
The characters were like puke with bones, plot was ethnocentric and culturally zealous. Reminded me of that shitty children's book tripe they pumped out in the 1950s in America all about the American dream and the beautiful fields of Virginia. Disgusting. I loved the anal rape, though.
