This book is a novel and pretty much romantic in nature but do content two different subject matters. Other than the fact that the book covers a period of time when Iran was in turmoils of post Coup De Tat of 1953, and revolts of 1957 and Islamic uprising of 1963-which ended up with a revolution that borough the Islamic Republic to power in 1973. There is a deep romantic love which the writer-the hero- tries to bypass all the turmoils and keeps the love above all. The hardship of entering the US-the Thresholds of Innocence-in early sixties, at the time where Shah had requested that US not allow Iranian students to arrive and stay in US, and all that it took for a runaway student to make himself set in his new home. The novels are written in a simple and easy understanding of the events. The hero and the atmosphere in wich the story takes place is new and heart warming and true to deep romance which is rooted in the Middle Eastern culture.
