From what I´ve read, I believe this book is
going to tell the story of the lives of seven girls. We are going to have the
chance to discover all of their secrets and at the same time realize everything
they have been through. Mostly I think the main purpose of the book is to show
us the social problems that Iran was having back then.
Clearly we can see how the women were
treated differently from men and had fewer opportunities. From this inequality
is that Azi decides to quite her job at the university and start her small
literature classes. She was tired of all the restrictions and rules and decided
it was time to take control of her own life.
I believe we are going to hear two complete different lives from each girl, one inside the house and one outside, in the real word. As Azi states, “They are, according to the law of land, dressed in black robes and head scarves, covered except for the oval of their hands. In the second photograph the same group, in the same position, stands against the same wall. Only they have taken off their coverings” (4). All of these girls are hidden behind a scarf and they can only open themselves when they are all together in the same room. This is probably because of the fact that no one is going to judge them by their believes or appearance on that room. They all came to Azi´s house for the same reason: to discuss literature. Even though that’s the main reason they came, I think that in the future they are going to realize that they are not learning literature but they are learning to find themselves.
By living in such a trapped world, they haven’t had the chance to analyze whom they are and what they want to do with their lives. I believe this literature class is going to be a great opportunity for them to come out of their black scarfs.

Still I think that a lot of consequences
are going to come with this small class because not all of the parents agree
with the idea that they should have the opportunity to learn. I believe I’m
going to enjoy this book and I can’t wait to see how these girls’ lives are
going to shift. Are they going to have a better life? Or are things just going
to get worse?
