About This Item
Pan Macmillan, London, 2001. Trade Paperback. Good. Trade Paperback. 322 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Pan Macmillan, London, 2001. *** CONDITION: Good. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: A warm and funny account of a journey around Iran that reveals a side to the country rarely seen by Westerners. Alison Wearing went on a trip beyond the legacy of revolution, religious fundamentalism and veiled women to find the real people of Iran. Posing as a honeymooner, but accidentally on purpose setting out on her own at every opportunity, she reveals a curiosity at every turn. With a love of language and an eye for detail, she takes the reader into the homes and hearts of the people who welcome her, feed her, and send her off on one adventure after the other. Alison goes to hidden places of interest that recall Persia, on interminable trips into the desert, and to fading palaces by the sea - wherever she finds herself, she offers insights into daily life in Iran, an enigmatic country. *** Quantity Available: 1.
