Beautifully and painfully expressed, Sheyda, the main character, reflects on her life from a prison where she awaits her fate, having been accused of killing her mother. It is clear that she does not have a solid grasp on reality, so her interpretations of the world are suspect both in past events and her current plight. At the core we find a girl who struggled in her childhood with the restrictions placed on girls in her society while she also struggles with her own grasp of reality past and present.

Engaging and well written, fans of 'Alias Grace' will absolutely love this book. The title alone is an eye-catcher, and the tale is at times poignant. A look inside the mind of a girl who begins to lose touch with reality, and told as she sees everything - from childhood to her current imprisonment, awaiting her faith. Brilliant writing.
