false 5074465 1 In Persia in 1924, when a child still had to worry about hostile camels in the bazaar and a nanny might spin stories at her pillow until her eyes fell shut, the extraordinary and irresistible Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian was born. From the enchanted basement storeroom where she played as a girl to the penthouse high above New York City where she would someday live, this is the delightful and inspiring story of her life as an artist, a wife and mother, a collector, and an Iranian. Here we see a mischievous girl become a spirited woman who defies tradition. Both a love story and a celebration of the warmth and elegance of Iranian culture, <i>A Mirror Garden</i> is a genuine fairy tale of an exuberant heroine who has never needed rescuing. 5141170 12 8 2008 A Mirror Garden (Vintage) total:2|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:1|1:0| 2 7 6 1 2 0 false false Tue Oct 20 08:08:40 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 08:10:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 22:08:45 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 22:08:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 09 18:46:55 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 15:45:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 11 10:17:52 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 10:17:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 07 08:55:13 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 08:55:13 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 20 17:44:32 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 17:44:32 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5074465
