DESCRIPTION:
DSlaughter said Telling Us All About It. I was very excited to order and read this book given Shirin Ebadi's status as a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. The story relates the family history of a close friend of Ms. Ebadi's and the tragic lives of the family's three brothers.Although the beginning of the book seemed disorganized and a little confusing, things settled down as I began to understand the main characters and their personalities. Although Ms. Ebadi is the narrator, the book is not really about her or her life. It is about her friend's family and three brothers, all of whom chos. Every Reader Should Comment! Bruce Blagg I don't write reviews. But I had to comment on this book. I felt that I could not read this book and then not have my voice join Shirin's in protesting the oppression the people of Iran are under.

Her book Iran Awakening has been translated into forty languages. Shirin Ebadi, a worldwide advocate for human rights, is the first Iranian and first Muslim woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (2003).
As Pari observes, her brothers live deluded lives in golden cages of ideology. The questions about the revolution shape The Golden Cage while the answers shed light on Islamic Iran's current events and tell us why it strives for nuclear energy, chants "Death to Israel," and claims to be the most powerful force in the Middle East and Muslim world. "If you do not have the power to overthrow the rule of oppression, inform others of the oppression."Persian proverb For over fifty years the Shah Pahlavi dynasty ruled Iran until Ayatollah Khomeini's 1979 Islamic Revolution seized power and began its own reign of tyranny. Each brother subscribes to a different political ideology that tears Iran and their lives apart. These words mark the beginning of this story, illuminating the multifaceted, oppressive Iran of today and years past.. The Golden Cage is one such story about three brothers the author knew through their sister, Pari, a childhood friend. History perhaps is best described through life stories we each can hold dearly
