Story4.5 out of 5 stars 178
In the best-selling memoir Funny in Farsi, Firoozeh Dumas recounted her adventures growing up Iranian American in Southern California. Now she again mines her rich Persian heritage in Laughing Without an Accent, sharing stories both tender and humorous on being a citizen of the world, on her well-meaning family, and on amusing cultural conundrums, all told with insights into the universality of the human condition. (Hint: It may have to do with brushing and flossing daily.)

Ms. Dumas is a fabulous storyteller. I read in hard copy both, Funny In Farsi & LWAA. I laughed and related all the way through, even though I am not Persian. The audio book was entertaining and well done. I enjoyed listening to the real person behind the stories. It's like having the author in your house telling you face to face over chai. Highly recommend.
