A Beginner`s Guide To Acting English

It`s 1977 and life in Iran is becoming unpredictable. The Shah will be overthrown and events are about to take place on the world stage. But for five-year-old Shappi Khorsandi all this means is that she must flee, leaving behind a mad extended Iran clan and everything she has ever known. Shappi and her beloved brother Peyvand arrive with their parents in London – all cold weather and strange food – without a word of English. If adapting to a new culture isn`t troubling enough, it soon becomes clear that the Ayatollah`s henchmen are in pursuit. With the help of MI5, Shappi`s family go into hiding. So apart from checking under the family car for bombs every morning, Shappi`s childhood is like any other kids` – swings in the park, school plays, kiss-chase and terrorists. `An extraordinary story…really funny and warm` Graham Norton
