The veil of tears: Engelska 1997

A Persian novel. While at first glance, \" The veil of tears \" appears to be a tragic soap opera, closer inspection reveals a book which provides a glimpse to how the culture and laws of a country, in this case Iran, impact on the lives of the men and women in that nation state. The two murders, which take place during the course of this story, bring these issues into sharp focus. The narrative exposes the path that the majority of young people still travel down in their journey towards marriage, its poignancy lies in its enduring legitimacy in the ٢٠th century. Amongst the humour, interwoven throughout the fabric of the text, the reader will find an astonishing depth to family ties and a familial closeness that clearly has far-reaching consequences.
