Book Review
This is a story of an immigrant family that had status and wealthy before migrating from Iran, an unpredictable young woman and an unhappily married man (a very unsympathetic, self-centered dangerous character).   These three, primarily, interacted with each other and the results were very bad consequences all around.  Each of the main characters were dealing with issues that I found interesting.   I enjoyed the book but have a hard time recommending it.
