If you have a little patience with this book then it is a rich and moving read - but I can’t deny it takes a while to get moving. It switches back and forth, with Kimiâ Sadr narrating her family’s history in Iran and her own story in modern day France, a queer immigrant woman attempting to get pregnant via IVF. I was more invested in the modern day storyline, but anyone who knows me knows I love a good family saga, so I was pulled into Kimiâ’s family history eventually. I think for me the politics of the story, while crucial, bogged it down. I was always eager to get back to the more personal side of the story.
