A gripping political memoir

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and most especially the author for sharing this copy with me in exchange for an honest review. Written by Neda Toloui-Semnani, "They Said They Wanted Revolution" is a memoir about her life and experiences as an author, journalist, and as a daughter of Iranian activists. The writing style varies, tying in the author's background as a journalist to meld memories, research, interviews, and notes to tell a her story through the lens of the political upheaval she experienced as an Iranian emigrant, specifically through the lens of her family's experiences. I enjoyed this book despite not typically reading memoirs or non-fiction, and found the author's writing style to be really easy to follow despite the different types of styles used in this work. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us.
