This book is for sure a fake. Starting from first chapter one can easily realize that the writer hated the royal family, and it gets to such a disgusting stage that I personally couldn't read it any more. The book is claimed to be written by mother of former empress of Iran (Farah Diba-Pahlavi) and is claimed to be written originally in French during the time the mother was living in France after revolution. After reading first chapters, I started believing that the book is published in Iran just to wide-spread the hatred of Pahlavi dynasty and to glorify the revolution. Then I started to do some research about originality of this book and came across to comments of Farah Pahlavi herself about this book, mentioning that her mother has never written a book in her life time, and she didn't even know French that fluently let alone writing a book in French. Well I really regret the time I spent to read the first chapters of this book, the only good point about this wasted time was looking at the photos of royal family and celebrations, but even for seeing them you don't need to touch this book, use google instead.
