My Father's Notebook: A Novel of Iran, (Paperback)

from M.J.Meeuwsen

Superb novel in superb Dutch by someone who escaped from Iran long time ago. I have a copy signed by Kader Abdolah himself. He used to live in my hometown.

I love this book. I read it on a rainy sunday on my coach in the Netherlands, but Kader Abdollah made me feel like I was in Iran.

from Gabriela50

I absolutely loved this book

from Winshoe

Quick read. The author jumps back and forth very clumsily from the past to the present. The present day sections, in my opinion, are completely unnecessary.

from judye

Story about a deaf mute and his son. Also about Persia, old and new. Slow paced. Disjointed narrative flow which I found distracting. The notebook of the title is actually the son's memories of his father. Ultimately affecting tribute.
