Limu Shirin

After the notorious Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979, many Iranians sought asylum abroad and resided in the free world. But what happened to those who stayed? How did they live under the turmoil of the new regime and the horrific war that followed? How was life in a land where children were trained as spies and youth were executed? 


Born and raised in Iran during those hard years, the author chronicles stories of her life through sad and sweet memories and tells us what it means to love your country, yet feel imprisoned within its borders.
