We Heard The Heavens Then: A Memoir Of Iran
by Aria Minu-Sepehr

Aria Minu-Sepehr was the son of a general in the Shah's Imperial Iranian Air Force. He was brought up in a sheltered world. When the Ayatollah came to power in 1979, Aria's life as he knew it came apart.
I honestly can say that this book did absolutely nothing for me. There have been a whole slew of accounts written by Iranians about their cultivated and privileged upbringing that were pretty interesting. We Heard The Heavens Then just left me empty. I believe it was the style of writing. Nothing exceptional, no beauty in the prose. You can pass this one by.
Not recommended.
