In this sequel to the successful Veil of Roses, Fitzgerald uses her
previous fairy tale ending as the jumping-off point for an easy, mildly
dramatic continuation. Tamila Soroush, a 27-year-old Iranian woman
whose last-minute Vegas wedding to American darling Ike Hanson saved
her from a life in Iran, returns to Tucson, Ariz., to a mother-in-law
villain who so disapproves of the union that she threatens deportation.
As Tami struggles with the lingering effects of growing up in Iran, she
learns to fight for her dreams in an immigrant's pleasantly idealized
America (the U.S. government, another villain, being the exception).
While the book is predictable, somewhat clichéd, and occasionally
unfocused, Fitzgerald's immensely likable narrator deflects criticism.
Her story is nice to the core,
despite all the conflict, and the uneasy suspicion that something
patronizing lies behind the cheerful naïveté eventually dissolves like
cotton candy. While Ike is cast as an American ideal, he's too entitled
to garner much sympathy; instead, Tami carries that torch, acting as a
touching embodiment of hope and a timely reminder that the American
dream is still relevant.
