Through a series of linked stories, Delijani explores how the actions, imprisonment, and deaths of young Iranian "anti-revolutionary" activists reverberate through the generations and how the notorious Evin prison casts a shadow across the generations. It would have been useful for the author to have included family trees. An interesting book informed by the author's own experiences, including her own birth in the Tehran prison.
