This is not an autobiographical look at an entire life; rather, it spans just a few months as the author approached his 10th birthday, as he prepared to emigrate from Iran. Kazerooni does an admirable job narrating his own work, lending a variety of voices to the people who come in and out of his life at this pivotal time. A kindly hotel owner has a tired, accented voice—perfect for listeners to imagine a man hunched at his front desk night after night. Fear, lack of confidence, frustration, and a sense of achievement—all the emotions that come with being a kid on his own—come out in full force in this well-done audiobook.
