New York: Norton, (1978). A novel of an Iranian woman caught between two cultures. Praise from Anne Tyler, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (who commented that "Nahid Rachlin has an intimate insider's knowledge of present-day everyday Iran - of people and places, houses, streets, and families and she writes of them with a clarity of perception and style that makes them instantly recognizable to the reader.") and others. 192 pp. ISBN: 0-393319083.
