My name is Ricardo Valverde, and I´m a brazilian writter... bye Dear Ricardo, Thank you so much for writing to me and giving me your feedback. It's so nice to hear a reaction from you as a reader. I hope you'll achieve whatever you are aiming for. Best wishes, Nahid Dear Mrs. Rachlin, It was great reading your book 'Persian Girls' (in Dutch), especially because I grew up in Ahwaz too. My mother is Dutch, father Persian, and I had a quite modern upbringing, but I know what Iran is like. It was a wonderful book! By the way, can we expect any readings in Holland? There's a wonderful Iranian writer in Holland, his name is Kader Abdolah, a friend of ours. He writes beautifully, have you read any of his books? Regards, Mandana Stip-Akhbari, Holland Hello, I wish I could come to Holland and meet you and your friend and give a reading. Thanks so much for writing and giving me your wonderful feedback. Nahid Dear Nahid: In first place...sorry for my english! It's not good. My name is Íris and I'm 17 years old. I'm from Brazil. I'm sending a mensage for you because I loved your book "Persian Girls". "Garotas da Pérsia", in Portuguese. Your history is wonderful! I cried a lot. My reality is totally diferent, but I don't know explain, you and your book gave me HOPE that everything's gonna be alright. The life is not easy here in Brazil. It's my dream to study in U.S.A or in another country. I'm 17 and I don't have experience, so it's hard to get a job. But I want to start the university and find a good job to save money and finally study outside of Brazil. I hope to get that in 6 or 7 years, but I will. Thank you for the book! I don't know if you have others book, but in Brazil it's just one. But I hope to read another book from you to give me more and more hope!
