Présentation de l'éditeur
1974. Eighteen-year-old drifter John Pitt leaves England with nothing more than his wits and a desire to see the world. When he reaches Iran, he takes a job teaching English. On his first day, he is struck by a veiled woman with luminous black eyes and 'lovely feet' – the headstrong Shirin. The two fall naively and fiercely in love – without considering the consequences of a love like theirs in the Shah's Iran.
As the forces of revolution begin to rip through the country, John and Shirin are brutally separated, and John finds himself alone amid a vicious and devastating conflict in a region he barely understands.
Pulse-thumping and lyrical, A Good Place to Die evokes the history of a vastly complicated land and the lengths to which we'll go for those we love, even when faced with the truly unthinkable.

Paperback. Etat : Good. John Pitt, drop-out from the University of Bedford, has arrived in Iran, as a naive English teacher. It is 1974 and Iran is changing, with the forces of religious conservatism and of liberal reform at collision point. Amidst all this, he falls madly in love with one of his students, Shirin. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001895676
