In my English class last year, the teacher taught this book. The heroine is really distressing, especially seeing her leave the house where her parents watched her go through customs through the glass at the airport. When she finally turned around, her mother fainted. The father hugged the mother, unable to bear to look at his daughter again. The heroine's original family is really good, enlightened parents, and a good family background... This life should have been very wonderful and smooth. until the day the war broke out. The heroine left Iran and went to Austria (it should be Austria, I don't remember). The parents comforted their daughter, saying that they would definitely accompany her soon, but the heroine understood that this was unrealistic. After she went to Europe, she lived under the shelter of others and was bullied by her landlord. She also felt embarrassed about her identity as an Iranian because of environmental reasons. After that, she went to France, where, for the first time, in the cold wind, she slept on a bench on the street; for the first time, she fell in love with a boy and was cheated on; the heroine slowly became taciturn. When the heroine got married, her mother said to her: "I asked you to receive advanced education, not to let you get married and have children so early." I still remember the heroine crying, "I want to go back to Iran." "Then come back. Right." Mother replied. Later, the political situation continued to be turbulent, and the heroine returned to France and engaged in the comics industry. Really distressed, the underage girl, dragging her suitcase by herself, kept tossing around in different countries. She was by her parents' side since she was a child, she was spoiled by her parents, she lived in a high-level intellectual family in Iran since she was a child, and she was also a high-income family. In the past ten years, she has never suffered such grievances. If not for the war.
