'Intricate, fierce, and genuine, The Good Daughter is a bold and unflinching exploration of faith and family, of love and alienation, of censure and forgiveness. Jasmin Darznik's graceful prose delves with razor-edged introspection into the darkened passageways of her mother's past, and in the process, fulfills the highest ambition of the memoir as a genre: to tell a personal story that, by virtue of its honesty, sheds light on an all too universal truth.' --Gina B. Nahai, author of MOONLIGHT ON THE AVENUE OF FAITH. A poignant and beautifully written memoir of three generations of women, beginning in Iran nearly a century ago.
"Superb... riveting... a moving tribute." -The Cleveland Plain Dealer
