Yeah, the thought of actually getting to direct questions to the author is really cool! I really liked the book Veil of Roses, so I hope that you all will like it too! How is everyone progressing with the story? Something that I can say without giving too much away for those who haven't read it yet is that I found the book really enlightening about Women's rights in Iran. We hear so much about Iran on the news, but really I know nothing about life in Iran - or I didn't before I read this book. And I find it fascinating and horrifying at the same time. We'll talk about that more at the meeting I'm sure. Speaking of the meeting, it will be on October 13th around 8 pm Newfoundland Time, unless there are any major conflictions with your schedules - let me know if this is an OK date and time, alright?

Should we bother with a theme for this one? Since we're all going to be scattered? Again, I want to know your thoughts.

To the author, if you are keeping up with this, perhaps we could pose questions through this blog as we read the book?
