Moaveni moved back to Tehran as a journalist and fell in love, got married, got pregnant, and watched the political climate tighten around her. This memoir covers the years when Iran seemed briefly like it might open up — and then didn't. The dispatch from inside the hyphen, written by someone who understood both the America that fears Iran and the Iran that fears America, and found neither version adequate to the reality of living there.
