A lot of young students throughout jr and sr high today have a lot of difficulty connecting to classic works but really want to- so seeing Nafisi relate works like Lolita to real life circumstance in my eyes could heavily ignite a passion for literary analysis. That said, I was given the memoir for my 18th birthday and deeply enjoyed it- I think it would be appropriate for anyone 14+ and a few years older could probably glean more from it! :-)(less)
