  Cherry Mosteshar was born in Iran, but has been resident in Britain since early childhood. This book tells of her return to Tehran as a correspondent for The Independent and The Economist . However, she found that she was as much an exile in her own country as she had been in Britain. Her story reveals her as a young woman crushed by the weight of male oppression, state bureaucracy and the ever-present evil of corruption. Her book is a portrait of a society on the brink of the 21st- century, but with a culture based on the 13th-century.
