the power of language

“English only” is the mantra that rules a classroom in Iran where four adults prepare for an English language exam. But while a new language may represent a new life, how will it alter their identities? This inspirational Pulitzer Prize winner shows that there is more to life than can be spoken in mere words. A thoughtful and heartfelt exploration of the human desire to belong.
