Product Description
When he was a boy, Aga Akbar, the illegitimate, deaf son of a Persian nobleman, travelled with his uncle to a cave on nearby Saffron Mountain. Once there, he was to transcribe a cuneiform inscription over three thousand years old. Decades later, his son, Ishmael - a political dissident in exile - attempts to translate a notebook filled with a private language made from this ancient script . . . and in the process tells his father''s story, his own, and the story of twentieth-century Iran.
My Father''s Notebook is at once a masterful chronicle of a culture''s troubled voyage into modernity and the heart-rending, timeless tale of a son''s enduring love.
