My favourite pages are two towards the end where Klinec pinpoints 'Eleven Memories I Am Taking with Me', all expressed through Farsi vocabulary terms. For me these two summarise perfectly what she has tried to do in this memoir: 'yaaftan – to find something beautiful in a place where it is least expected or where you had to struggle' and 'payvand zadan – the act of locking two things to each other to keep them both safe, an old-fashioned word for marriage.'
Further reading suggestion: [[Risotto with Nettles by Anna del Del Conte]] is one of our favourite 'memoirs with food', while [[Censoring an Iranian Love Story by Shariar Mandanipour]] offers a fictional look at a romance set in Iran.
