This book is very history-heavy, as a basic understanding of this is key in understanding the story and the characters. I admittedly knew very little of Iran's history, but found the story nonetheless very easy to follow, thanks also to the author's thorough explanations and very easy and engaging writing style. I loved the image of the "golden cage" of ideology where each of the brothers ultimately traps himself: a beautiful and rich cage, but a cage nonetheless. And this is cage is what eventually destroys each of their lives, and their family as a whole.
A powerful reminder of the destructive potential of following an ideology blindly, this heartbreaking story is perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about Iran's history and society through the eyes of a normal family.
