About this ebook
This book is written to bring a smile to the faces to all the women who many years ago left their homes, families and friends to start new lives with their Iranian husbands in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Although it is an exaggerated, fictional account of one woman's attempt to accept the things that she liked and laugh at the things that she did not it might just lighten the mood of anyone who has previously blundered in where the wise fear to tread.
