Book Review of a Teaspoon of Earth and Sea

Abstract

A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea is essentially the story of Saba Hafezi, daughter of an Iranian landlord, whose entire life revolves around the fate of her family and the imagined re-union with her long-lost twin sister, Mahtab. But reading between the lines, an intelligent reader is able to decipher a subdued hatred towards the transformation of an open-minded Iran to the Iran of 1990s with its imposition of revolutionary rules and the dominance of the religious militia.
