REVIEWS
“The reviewer began the novel with skepticism but finished it with admiration for the author. … Parvin has written a novel that is worth the strong attention of concerned Americans.”
― Choice
“Manoucher Parvin has written a sensitive and passionate historical novel about Iran’s revolution and revolutionaries. It will surely take its place among the best of third world political literature.”
― The Guardian
“Cry for my Revolution, Iran is a big book, written with a sense of wholeness and totality. It’s big in size; it’s big in scope of the events it narrates; and it’s big in its ambitions. It contains within it an education of its own in politics, economics, social science, religion and history.
― CIRA Newsletter
“This fervent and articulate book is essential to anyone who wishes to go beyond American newspaper and television accounts for a truer picture of relations between the Unites States and Iran following World War II, for the clichés do not explain that poisoned marriage.”
― Thomas Filbin
