The colourful, vivid memoirs of Azar Nafisi, the daughter of the mayor of Tehran, paint a dramatic story of one family against the backdrop of political upheaval in Iran. Nafisi's father, a brilliant politician, ends up in prison and leaves the family some time after his release. Nafisi's mother, with whom she has an extremely difficult relationship, is elected to the country's parliament. But due to revolutionary events, she is forced to resign from her position and, like all Iranian women, wear a hijab. While the country is torn apart by political struggle, the heroine grows up. She studies, reads Ferdowsi and Nabokov with rapture, falls in love, gets married, gets divorced, starts new relationships, teaches at a university, leads an underground literary circle, and finally emigrates. Her everyday life is an incredible tangle of joy, pain, fear, disappointment and hope. And the main question that Nafisi asks herself is: what is the price of freedom in a country where freedom is becoming less and less every day?
