Highly recommend this incredible book by my sister scribe @robinadavis.bsky.social l “Surviving Paris is not Emily in Paris. ...It is a true story about a young, Black single woman and what happens when your Paris dream turns into a Paris nightmare."

Anyone who wants to learn more about Iran would do well to read this beautifully written and mesmerizing book by Kamin Mohammadi, one of my writing mentors and an expert on her country. Timely and important. I highly recommend.
