The autobiography of young girl growing up in Iran in the 1940s whose passionate interest in dance confronts a society where new ideas challenge old values. "Ramazani structures her poignant and compelling story around metaphors of movement. A sense of energy pervades this life narrative which is all about mobility-in a physical, spiritual, artistic, and metaphorical sense. It is a meditation on blurry boundaries and shifting categories, a refusal to be contained in national boundaries or languages.--Farzaneh Milani, author of Veils and Words: The Emerging Voices of Iranian Women Writers
