Synopsis
"Drawing on her remarkable personal history, NPR producer Davar Ardalan brings us the lives of three generations of women and their ordeals with love, rejection, and revolution. Her American grandmother's love affair with an Iranian physician took her from New York to Iran in 1931. Ardalan herself moved from San Francisco to rural Iran in 1964 with her Iranian American parents who barely spoke Farsi. After her parents' divorce, Ardalan joined her father in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he had gone to make a new life; however improbably, after high school, Ardalan decided to move back to an Islamic Iran. When she arrived, she discovered a world she hardly recognized, and one which demands a near-complete renunciation of the freedoms she experienced in the West. In time, she and her young family make the opposite migration and discover the difficulties, however paradoxical, inherent in living a free life in America.--From publisher description."--From source other than the Library of Congress
Iran Ardalan, a senior producer at NPR, uses her memoir to explain her and her family's complicated relationship to both America and Iran. When she was an infant, her parents moved back to Iran, but after many happy years, Ardalan's life was fractured by her parents' divorce and the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini. She moved back to America, but felt alienated by her heritage and her name. At the age of 18, she once again returned to Iran to embrace her culture, and even participated in an arranged marriage, but this too led to divorce and conflict. Finally, Ardalan began to work in radio, a career that eventually returned her to America. In this memoir, Ardalan shows how the conflict between freedom and heritage within her family is indicative of a larger schism within the Iranian psychology.
