Family - Poverty - Growing up
This volume contains three short stories written in the first person from the
point of view of children of poor Iranian families. The first tale by a
twelve-year old boy depicts the everyday life of his family, which is
permeated by bitter poverty. And yet the slightly ironic, even satirical tone
of this story and the others is one of humor and optimism. The focal point
of the third story is a twelve-year old girl who learns to trust her own
abilities to deal with life’s problems. (12+)
