As I reached the end of the book I realized, to my great dismay, that she seems in a hurry to finish the book! Although unfortunately for the author, the family she got married in was of such bad taste, the book does reflect a few things. The shortcomings of an extremely patriarchal society is in the limelight! Also how extremism in religion and the reluctance to accept the change makes a foreigner's life difficult and those of natives has been beautifully showcased.
Though she seemed to have some bias towards Islamic practices, by the end of the book she more than justified that.
All in all, the book is worth a read. If nothing, you will learn a few things of Iran!
