Read it in 2 days once I got started.The book is fast paced, witty, interesting, and written as if "Dodie" was sitting down with you over coffee telling her story. Ms. Cross' husband worked for an oil company and had the opportunity to go to Iran...that's how it starts and how she managed to get herself, her family, and all their lives ready to move across the globe is a story in itself.If you are interested in Middle Eastern culture, Iranian history during the fall of the Shah, or how an expat deals with life abroad (humerously written but respectful) then pick up this book. The Cross family did not live in Iran for long, so this book (a two year period) does not go into real depth on the things I mentioned but it interesting from an American woman's stand point.I look forward to reading "A Broad Abroad in Thailand" which is actually Ms. Cross' first book; but the move to Thailand came after Iran, interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars So many memories of my childhood ! *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2016* I was a child of a BHI employee . We lived in Iran from 1971 until 1978 . It all seemed so long ago .. Until reading this book . I was young teen when I left Esfahan so it seemed like we had lost everything I considered home .. But wow hearing story again makes me feel really blessed we escaped . Thank you ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars All so true... *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2012* Dodie Cross has written a wonderful memoir that brought back many personal memories of my own experiences as an expat kid in Iran in 1977 and 1978. It is an easy read that provides both history and perspective during an extraordinarily tense period in Iran. The culture shock stories made me chuckle as I read them. From getting pinched in the bazaar, grabbed by a rider on a motorcycle or experiencing the Iranian "toilet", all made for an enjoyable read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/46454052-a-broad-abroad-in-iran-an-expats-misadventures-in-land](https://www.desertcart.us/products/46454052-a-broad-abroad-in-iran-an-expats-misadventures-in-land) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
