#setinthemiddleeast #maybookflowers. A couple of years ago I read these two memoirs about the Iranian revolution. One book is about a leftist intellectual who tries to keep teaching. The other book is about a teenage girl who unwittingly gets in trouble with the revolutionary guard. The real life version of The Handmaids Tale. Photo credit Google
