| Abstract
|
:
|
"Growing up in Tehran in the 1960s, Terence Ward and his brothers were watched over by Hassan, the family's cook, housekeeper, and cultural guide. After an absence of forty years and much tumult in Iran, Ward embarked on a pilgrimage with his family in search of Hassan. Taking us across the landscape of Iran, he interweaves its incredibly rich past and explores its deep conflicts with its Arab neighbors and our current administration. Insightful, moving, and timely, Searching for Hassan puts a human face on the long-suffering people of the Middle East with this story of a American family who came to love and admire Iran through their deep affection for its people"--
