The writer moved to the Netherlands and wrote this book in Dutch. Lovely and catching story.
This book isn't set in Iran but it is about an Iranian family that moved to America. The memoir is not only a good read about adapting but it is a funny read worth while.
Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America by فیروزه جزایری دوما / Firoozeh Jazayeri Dumas




I think Jason Elliot is excellent. Liked this book, but liked An Unexpected Light: Travels in Afghanistan even more. Sorry, wrong thread, I know.
