This title was bought for my read around the world challenge as it is set in Iran. I thought it was a work of fiction, even upon reading it it mimics a work of fiction with alternating voices of Leila and the Doctor. It isn't until the final chapter when I realised that the author was in fact the doctor. This story tells of a doctor who lived in the outer cities of Iran and preformed many forbidden procedures on woman to save them from death by stoning or hanging or by suicide. He was tortured before fleeing to Turkey, and is now residing in Australia. A terrifying and heartfelt story at the same time.
