Azar Nafisi: Things I've Been Silent About: Memories of a Prodigal Daughter

Things I've Been Silent About: Memories of a Prodigal Daughter


Description

In Azar Nafisi's personal story of growing up in Iran, she shares her memories of a life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a country's political revolution. Nafisi's intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerising fictions about herself, her family, and her past. But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of triumph hid as much as they revealed. When her father began to see other women, young Azar began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi's complicity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist remaining silent about other personal - as well as political, cultural, and social - injustices. "Things I've Been Silent About" is also a powerful historical picture of a family that spans the many periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1978-79. This unforgettable portrait of a woman, a family, and a troubled homeland is a new triumph from a modern master of the memoir.

Using hyperbole, puns, slapstick, and silly drawings, bestselling author/illustrator Tedd Arnold creates an easy reader that is full of fun. With an eye-catching holographic foil cover, this is the second in a series of four books. The perfect little book about colours for fans of The Dinosaur That Pooped series. In a small and sturdy format with just 12 pages, this short Dino Poop story is a wonderful introduction to the series for very young children. When Dino and Danny see a rainbow in the sky, they go through and name all the colours they can see. But soon they notice there is one important colour missing and Dinosaur is keen to help correct it. "A work of genius".
