I'm having trouble understanding the issues listed in the water cell. What is the link between Marji's grandfather and the shah? Was he the father of the shah or the guy before him? Also, can someone clarify was it Britain and Russia that ousted Mussadiq? Or was it the US. There isn't very much clarification of these topics in the US. Any help would be great.

As long as I know, Marji's grandfather was from the royal family before the Shah's father took over Iran. He was actually a prince of Iran before. And I think it was Britain and the United States that ousted Mussadiq.

For your information, I found this document quite useful in understanding the history timeline of Iran.



Hope it helps!!

I really like that document you linked Pauline, very helpful! I recommend others check it out if they have questions.

Thank you, the link was very helpful and clear.

I would need some help also concerning the guardians of the revolution (I read the novel in spanish and I'm not so sure about the translation, but it must be similar). I've made some reaserch and now I now that they're mostly some kind of militars, but what about the women that were onto Marjane because she was wearing a Michael Jackon's badge (among other stuff)? I found that really interesting because I'm not really sure if they are some kind of (legal) police or a couple of radicals that have the right to take someone to the real police just because that person isn't following what is socially acceptable for the community they are in. Does anyone have any idea? Thank you in advance! For me it is a really interesting subject that we can discuss.

Hi Ana, in Iran there are several different and parallel police forces, immorality police acts independently from normal police and are completely different organisation. So if for example i get arrested for not following dress code i will be in different jail and under different jurisdiction generally called "Committee" or "Disciplinary Police" rather than police.
I hope it helps

It's more of a formatting/depiction thing, but what is implied when her mother and grandmother are saying something and we only see the word "photo". does it mean they were speaking quietly and this was the only word she heard? or were they speaking a different language among themselves?
(they were concerned about her father but tried to hide that)
