Book Review
Jewish Persia, Embroidered
2007
Overview
The family is almost entirely without money; her father is the son of a rich, loveless family, the Arbabs' grotesquerie springing from its devotion to status over feeling. The marriage of Yaas's parents is accurately forecast by their own parents to be a disaster. Yaas's father, unable to love until he sees a mysterious, exotically beautiful woman, a woman with a capital-P Past (and frankly entirely unbelievable, even on the book's own terms), is struck senseless with mad, undying passion and abandons his family, first emotionally and then physically. Her mother, unexceptional except in her desire to experience life, experiences instead only bitter frustration. That this story is not going to end well is foreshadowed throughout the book. \"I nod and inch closer to her,\" [Yaas] says, with characteristic portentous glumness, \"and then we begin to walk, down the alley and through the intersection, onto the long stretch of street at the end of which, I sudden know, is nothing but despair.\"
