John Pitt, a 19-year-old drop out, has arrived in Isfahan. He has an idea he wants to be a hippie. Passing himself off as a graduate, he becomes a teacher of English. It is 1974 and Iran is changing, with the forces of religious conservatism and of liberal reform on a collision course. Amidst all this, Pitt falls madly and dangerously in love with Shirin, one of his students. A Good Place to Die tells the extraordinary story of what happens to a country in the grip of the mullahs and to a couple swept up in its history. It is a love story of the most tender and original kind, which describes the complications of a marriage between two very different cultures. It is also a compelling political thriller in which Pitt is drawn into the turbulent events in Iran that endanger both his marriage and his life.
