Journey from the Land of No captured my interst right from the first chapter. I did not like Roya while I was reading her prolog. But, as soon as she started her story the pace picked up. Her self-righteousness disappeared and she provided an interesting look into a land and culture I knew little about.

The book gets to the point effectively. No extra verbage or descriptions detract from the reality of existence in Iran. Roya's story telling ability led me through the streets and dwellings so carefully that I could clearly picture the characters and their surroundings.

I think Book Lovers' Luncheon Club would appreciate reading this as a monthly selection. There are many issues to explore and discuss (many we, fortunatley, don't experience in this country).

Thank you for the book.
