Written in 2004 this details how because of the Islamic regime, women studied forbidden Western books in secret during the 1990s.

J'ai trouvé le style un peu déconcertant, on est à la fois dans un récit, mais ça tend souvent vers l'analyse littéraire. Il faut être un vrai fan de littérature pour apprécier cette lecture, mais il y a beaucoup de vérité et de profondeur dans ce livre, et je n'oublierai pas de sitôt cette professeure et ses élèves.
