Abnousse Shalmani was born into an atheist Iranian family. As a young girl she refuses to be veiled and displays many characteristics that a woman in Iran should not have; she is frank, provocative, intelligent, and lively. Her family goes into exile, in Paris, to escape the constraints put upon them by the teachers and Islamists in Iran and Abnousse looks forward to her new life. She soon discovers, however, that Paris cannot provide the freedom she longed for.
