Critics Review
“She has done it again! The magic of mixing ordinary with extraordinary, detective story and psychological surreal, is working here with power and authority. This is the skill of turning a best-seller into a work of art…” – Hannaneh Nimrouz. “Luba is believable and loveable. Her presence, as the central figure of the book, and her life give the story a plausible historical itinerary composed of different roles and anecdotes created by the Iranian Revolution!” – Navak Nasim, Nameh ye Kanoon.
