"No matter how I would reach out in the years to
come--sometimes even desperately--to find an identity
and purpose of my own, I would remain inextricably
tied to my twin brother. I would marry more than
once. I would have children of my own. I would work
for my country in ways unheard of for a woman of my
generation. I would even go into exile (three times)
alone. But always the center of my existence was, and
is, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi."
Here, in what is bound to be one of the most
controversial and talked about books of the
decade, Ashraf Pahlavi, twin sister of the Shah
of Iran, tells the extraordinary story of her life
and of her country. For the first time she
records her views--based on personal experi-
ences and inside information as only she could
know them--of the events which surrounded
the removal of the Shah, the take-over by the
Khomeini regime, and the international furor
which resulted from her brother s treatment at
New York Hospital.
In FACES IN A MIRROR, she recalls her
fiercely determined rise to independence and
political activity in a country that traditionally
has granted women few rights and little free-
dora--some even came to call her " the real
power behind the throne." Now she recounts
the historic events she has witnessed and been
part of for four decades since the time of the
Teheran Conference in 1943:
