Two Wings of a Nightingale Persian soul Islamic heart On the road in Iran Jill Worrall 9781921497841 Books Reviews

Forget all your preconceptions on Iran. There are no rabid revolutionaries in this book, nor any nuclear machinations. Two Wings is window on the lives of ordinary Iranians gleaned from a road trip of several thousand kilometres around this vast country. The author was accompanied on her journey by her longtime friend, Reza.
Together, they, a Western woman and an Iranian man, explore the soul of a much misunderstood country. It's a journey that reveals a friendly, peaceableand hospitable people more interested poetry than politics. This is an engaging and insightful book that is bound to challenge any prejudices.
What is your perception of Iran? I bet it doesn’t tie in with the view of experienced New Zealand travel writer, Jill Worrall, as presented here.

Worrall has a deep love for the middle-eastern countries of which we know so little. In Two Wings of a Nightingale, she and expert local guide, Reza Mirkhalaf, set out across Iran to follow the ancient route of the Silk Road, staying where possible in the old caravanserais which were used by the original travelers.

Reza’s knowledge of Iran’s history, culture and religion gives color and depth to the story. The places they visit and people they meet along the away are brought to life. Reza B. their driver provides insight with his perceptive comments.

Jill’s lively writing informs and entertains. We learn of the people and culture of Iran, without political overtones. We share tales of customs and frustrations, find joy and delight in ordinary every day events.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it highly. It opened my eyes to daily life in this fascinating country.
Light and interesting book on the old Silk Road caravanseries, beautiful elegant mosques etc. I've been in awe of Persian architecture since travelling India in my youth
Persian Soul, Islamic Heart.. a great read, thank you
Rich history and heritage and proud people of Iran is described in fluent language. One would love to embark on the same trip right away.
I didn't get a feel for the characters and I wasn't all that rapt in the story. The writing was good and I'm sure others will get a more positive reaction that I did but I had hoped for better.
