It Makes Me Laugh
I am reading this for one of my college classes and am enjoying it immensely. Firoozeh Dumas uses humor as a medium to remind us that we all have similar hopes, dreams and quirks. Everyone has their foibles and families have to deal with them. When she wrote about the monkey on the balcony and how her father believed all animals were diseased, it reminded me of my grandmother who thought you could catch a cold by riding in cars with the windows down. I laughed out loud, which was probably not a good idea since it was 2 am and my husband was sleeping.
It takes a great deal of fortitude to distill the essence of family life and the vast array of personal experience into a humorous retelling that entertains while it enlightens.
This is a great read and I highly recommend it.
