It was 1998. She was twenty-two and a freshly minted journalist. She would stay for ten years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQuickly absorbed into the everyday life of the city, Minoui attends secret dance parties that are raided by the morality police and dines in the home of a young couple active in the Basij--the fearsome militia. She befriends veteran journalists battling government censorship, imprisoned student poets, and her own grandmother (a woman who is discovering the world of international affairs through her contraband satellite TV). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd so it is all the more crushing when the political situation falters. Minoui joins street protests teeming with students hungry for change and is interrogated by the secret police; she sees a mirrored rise in the love of country--the yearning patriotism of the left, the militant nationalism of the right. Friends disappear; others may be tracking her movements. She finds love, loses her press credentials, marries, and is separated from her husband by erupting global conflict. Through it all, her love for Iran and its people deepens. In her family's past she discovers a mission that will shape her entire future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFramed as a letter to her grandfather and filled with disarming characters in momentous times, \u003ci\u003eI'm Writing You from Tehran \u003c\/i\u003eis a remarkable blend of global history, family memoir, and the making of a reporter, told by someone both insider and outsider--a child of the diaspora who is a world-class political journalist.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDelphine Minoui\u003c\/b\u003e, a recipient of the Albert Londres Prize for her reporting on Iraq and Iran, is a Middle East correspondent for \u003ci\u003eLe Figaro\u003c\/i\u003e.
