About the Book:
Everything started from the day Narges and Ismail went to school. The beginning of the school was the beginning of the turbulent days of the educational life of Narges and Isma’il. Meanwhile, Ishmael completes the task of fraternity in Narges’ right; he makes his best to let Narges go to school. Ismail, despite his very young age, thinks as a mutual man. Ismail is a teenage boy studying at guidance school and his sister named Narges, at high school. Ismail’s father is a poor but revolutionary man. He sells dry and waste bread. His uncle, who is mullah (clergy man), is also against the Shah’s regime, and has been frequently arrested and tortured by SAVAK (Iranian Intelligences Service in Shah’s arena). According to the new directive, Narges is being expelled from the school due to her Hijab, and this is a main cause that evokes Ismail to be against the regime of Shah. Then the book describes Isma’il’s efforts to bring his sister back to school
The book enjoys a simple and eloquent text without using complex terms and statements. The events narrated from the perspective of the first person means by Ismail. The events are somewhat tangible and believable as though they are the author’s memories described beautifully the details and events. The author, in the thirty-four short sections, tried to find out all the events that took place in his community, especially in the eyes of the teenage boy. Each section consists of one of these events. The message in the novel is: to achieve the goals, we should try our best and work together.
