Gohar Kordi was born in a small Kurdish village in Iran. At the age of four, she became blind. She tells of her growing up in the country, the family?s move to Teheran and her struggle to get an education and become the first woman student at the University. Compelling, with a quiet, hypnotic power, An Iranian Odyssey is an autobiography that reveals its belief that adversity can be overcome.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
?As much a moving account of a heroic personal struggle as a telling indictment of a society in which being female was almost as disabling as being blind. Stirring reading? Kirkus Reviews ?Movingly intense? Booklist ?What?s especially compelling is the emergence Kordi?s intelligence, the force that pushes her to reach out to the world despite her fear of seeming ridiculous? Boston Phoenix
