Aria |
We follow the story of Aria, abandoned as a baby in Tehran, through to motherhood. We meet gentle Behrouz who found her, the three important 'mother' figures and her friends. Aria's personal story is set against the growing social/political unrest culminating in the 1979 revolution overthrowing the Shah. She experiences the poverty of the traditional south and the wealth of the westernised north of Tehran. An enjoyable story but I felt it lacked a certain depth.
