Product Information
Comedian Shappi Khorsandi's funny and heartwarming memoir about growing up as an Iranian girl in 1980s Britain It's 1977 and life in Iran is becoming unpredictable. The Shah will be overthrown and events are about to take place on the world stage. But for five-year-old Shappi Khorsandi all this means is that she must flee, leaving behind a mad extended Iran clan and everything she has ever known. Shappi and her beloved brother Peyvand arrive with their parents in London - all cold weather and strange food - without a word of English. If adapting to a new culture isn't troubling enough, it soon becomes clear that the Ayatollah's henchmen are in pursuit. With the help of MI5, Shappi's family go into hiding. So apart from checking under the family car for bombs every morning, Shappi's childhood is like any other kids' - swings in the park, school plays, kiss-chase and terrorists.

Regret it was not longer - raw honesty - great humour
Stumbled across this delightful account of a fascinating life told with great honesty and self deprecating humour. A must to re-read. How Shappi emerged so well balanced is a miracle. Moving on to her earlier book, "Nina is (not) OK", & will review afterwards..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
