Our reviewer writes, «Though the reader gets a taste of what the Iranian Jewish community was like, this is really a novel about the culture of women, from the ritual baths and other religious traditions to the gardens and distinctly
gendered spaces of the home.»
Through unabashed brushstrokes and slashes
of vibrant color, Frank's surrealistic dreamscapes disrupt the sacred
space of the
home and psyche, alluding to the cracked lens through which we view feminism,
gender and equality.
