Description
Every Thursday morning in a living room in Iran, over tea and pastries, eight women meet in secret to discuss forbidden works of Western literature. As they lose themselves in the worlds of Lolita, The Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice, gradually they come to share their own stories, dreams and hopes with each other, and, for a few hours, taste freedom. Azar Nafisi's bestselling memoir is a moving, passionate testament to the transformative power of books, the magic of words and the search for beauty in life's darkest moments.

What happens when a reader becomes a writer: magic!
The book is written by a woman who knows her books, her authors and the world every reader inhabits. She unravels the stories hidden in each book and weaves in her own life stories as she traces Iran's history during the revolution.
I bought the book expecting it to talk about Lolita but what it did was make me reread Lolita again now with a clearer prespective as well as brought to the forefront many other great reads too.
Each character in the book is someone you know, empathise or atleast ...
