"Absorbing . . . a testament to the ways in which narrative truth-telling-from the greatest works of literature to the most intimate family stories-sustains and strengthens us."-O: The Oprah MagazineIn this stunning personal story of growing up in Iran, Azar Nafisi shares her memories of living in thrall to a powerful and complex mother against the backdrop of a country's political revolution. A girl's pain over family secrets, a young woman's discovery of the power of sensuality in literature, the price a family pays for freedom in a country beset by upheaval-these and other threads are woven together in this beautiful memoir as a gifted storyteller once again transforms the way we see the world and "reminds us of why we read in the first place" (Newsday).Praise for Things I've Been Silent About"Deeply felt . . . an affecting account of a family's struggle."-New York Times "A gifted storyteller with a mastery of Western literature, Nafisi knows how to use language both to settle scores and to seduce."-New York Times Book Review "An immensely rewarding and beautifully written act of courage, by turns amusing, tender and obsessively dogged."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A lyrical, often wrenching memoir."-People von Nafisi, Azar
