Every time the relationship between Ford and Frances seems genuine and lovely, I remember that she is 17 and he is 23 with a hard past
And I try to remember that it was the 60s but at 17 you are just a kid, obviously you like the tall, handsome Rich guy from your small village, but why on hearth a 23 years old divorce would be interested in a teenager?

A really good book honestly! ✨ I really enjoyed it and since non fiction are really not my faves, that’s a big deal for me!
I was able to see a glimpse of what my parents lived immigrating but I also think that non Iranian can really enjoy this book
I will not put a five star because as I said non fiction are not my fave but that’s a personal preference, and also because there still is internalized misogyny that I did not really enjoyed from time to time but nothing dramatic, it’s just that we can see a lot in her way of thinking about other women

“Our hometown, Abadan, was about as safe a place as one could hope for. We knew all the neighborhoods, everyone looked out for everyone else’s kids, and there was basically no crime other than petty theft”
Reading that as a child of Iranian immigrants makes me so nostalgic of a time and place that I was supposed to know but never experienced it And reading it during the war is also a reminder that I may never know that and our generation might never..
I kinda just want to go listen to my parents for hours on end and their story about Iran 🥹

Funny how I would never describe America like that from what I see But seeing the point of view of an immigrant child is so interesting But her poor mother 🥲 she was not kind to her in this first chapter 🥲
