| Review | Honeymoon in Purdah by Alison Wearing (941 words) |
 | Wearing chooses this formidable country to spend five months of her life, documenting it via memory and personal journal. |
| Wearing becomes an unreliable narrator as she seems incapable or unwilling to view anything negative or oppressive about Iran; she overlooks the chauvinistic fundamentalist laws and the blatant sexism and only views the kindness and hospitality of the country's inhabitants. |
| Wearing seems blinded by the mystique of a foreign country and its rituals. |
