Can a quintessential American girl maintain her independent spirit when her father moves the family to Tehran, Iran? Shaghayegh Farsijani's THE BURDEN OF MY RED LIPS IN TEHRAN transports the reader back to adolescence, and was inspired by the author’s life experiences. The book is an eye-opening look into what life was really like for young women during the most heated years of Iran's modern history. Louie Saenz talks with Farsijani on this week’s Book Club.
