Based on her own adolescent experiences, Sadaf Foroughi?s Ava is a gripping debut about a young girl?s coming-of-age in a strict, traditional society. Living with her well-to-do parents in Tehran, Ava is a bright and focused teen whose concerns ? friendships, music, social status, academic performance ? resemble that of nearly any teenager. When Ava?s mistrustful and overprotective mother questions her relationship with a boy ? going so far as to visit a gynecologist ? Ava is overwhelmed by a newfound rage. Formerly a model student, Ava begins to rebel against the strictures imposed by her parents, her school, and the society at large.
