Really interesting, but something about it in audio format didn't quite grab me in the way I was hoping. Not a lot of plot, but it's a memoir, so there doesn't have to be, of course - just trying to think of why it didn't quite work as audio for me. Standout parts: the section on Iran, and particularly the wedding. I also was fascinated by how Wilson writes about religion and her conversion to Islam, with a unique perspective that brings a new angle to a well-worn topic.
