I started out pretty much devouring this book, but starting at roughly the end of part II, the book really seemed to fizzle out. I found it very difficult to keep track of time and who did what and which of her girls were on which side of the Iranian revolution and a whole bunch of other stuff. Then, just as I'd get that straight, the book would wander off into critical analysis of books like "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Great Gatsby".

You don't have to have read the books to appreciate this me ...more
