Navai, an award-winning journalist, examines a wide range of Tehranis in this collection of beautifully written profiles. They include a woman who is sold twice, first by her drug-addicted parents, then by her debtor husband, and another woman who watches morality police shut down her dancing class. When a man agrees to meet with a cryptic stranger, he finds himself face to face with the judge whose sentence destroyed his family but who now pleads for his forgiveness.

The writing is filled with novelistic detail, but the beauty of the prose offers minor relief from the cruelties described.

This book is populated by an army of standardised noses. They are slender and dainty and well-formed — because almost all of them were operated on by a cosmetic surgeon. But now and again, a natural and characterful nose appears and stands out from the crowd. The one belonging to Ana, for example, a single woman in her late 20s: "She was one of the few Iranian women with an imperfect nose, the one she was born with, a noble, sharply angular nose, which had become the proud hallmark of her strength and individuality.
