Summary

With Rooftops of Tehran, Mahbod Seraji delivers a debut novel that has won immediate acclaim for its affecting portrait of life in Iran's capital city.

A 17-year-old boy finds his rooftop the perfect escape for taking in the night sky, smoking cigarettes and catching occasional glimpses of his beautiful neighbor. But when his lofty perch allows him to witness the brutality of the regime under which he lives, everything changes for the boy and those close to him.

Critic reviews

"Told in Pasha's unique voice and partially in flashback, Seraji's wonderful coming-of-age story is at times funny and sweet as well as thought-provoking and heart-wrenching." ( Booklist)

A very unique but highly enjoyable book. Reading it is highly recommended. Central themes of love and friendship.

BORING!

The readers voice was dreadful. I didn’t feel it went with the story at all. The story itself was disappointing and dissatisfying, I couldn’t wait till it ended. Don’t know why people lived it so much.
