Lili is one of those amazing heroines, who don't let their fates decide the rest of their lives. Even after all these days, I still remember how awesome this book was. I finished it in just two weekdays though sadly my review is a couple of months late. ![]() This is one of those magnificent reads from which I found it so hard to look away. Jasmin herself didn't know much about her mother until she accidentally comes across an old photo featuring her mother with her first husband, whom Jasmin does not know at all. The revolution is a sour taste in the whole of Iran's history, but the people who came forward to say that story have been wonderful. The book is full of all things Iranian that I love. Jasmin Darznik's The Good Daughter is a beautifully written compelling biography about her own mother, Lili, who was born in Iran - almost doomed to a docile and probably condemned life but instead goes on to pursue her studies in Germany and eventually moves to the United States at the dawn of the revolution. ![]()
