heeey, who got the book? :/
i am death interested in reading this book because i already read the Turkish version and i force my friends and family to read it too.. One the best books i have ever read.. and Mahbod Seraji is DEFINETELY the kindest and the most modest writer in the whole wild world.. I have never met anyone like him.. How can a person be that talented, and that modest? telling the readers a way to contact with him if they have questions or anything, AMAZED me.. i wonder how many times i will read this book but rightnow my cousin has it! 😀 and i reaaaaaally want to read the English version too! i always do that with my favortie books :/ i want to read the original version but i dont think i can find it here in Turkey :/ they have the Turkish version not English.. so yeaaaaaah.. i really want to get the book 🙂

I have heard many good things about this book. I enjoy books which give you a glimpse of another culture.
this is definitely one of my top 10 books, and since I read approximately 5 books a month, that is saying a lot!! I would love to share 3 free books with my family and friends….and besides that, I met Mahbod by chance ( I actually think not!) in Ojai.
I’d love to read this because I’ve read two books about Tehran this summer (Honeymoon in Tehran and Embroideries) and I guess I’m on a roll!
I would love to read this because I’ve never read this type of book.

I’d like to read this book because it’s about a culture I know little about. It also sounds like a sweet and touching story which I would enjoy reading.
Thank you!

Our book club recently read & discussed ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ by Khaled Hosseini. We all agreed that it was one of the best books we have read to date & we are looking for other books like this. I have heard good things about this one & would appreciate the chance to read it.

I would like to read this because I am interested in knowing more about different cultures. Ignorance begets prejudice and hate.
I would love to read this because I’m very interested in books set in Middle Eastern countries. As well, it has to be a great book with all the excellent reviews it has received.
I am interested in this book because of the locale – it is a fascinating place and I love read other books about the culture and find it all fascinating. Thanks Serena for hosting!
