Dreaming in English is a very interesting tale and perspective on immigration and I love it. This book did not fail to provide me with dangers and suspense.I love reading about immigration and it's many twists and turns. The love story in this book was not too soppy (a good thing) and the ending gave me a sense of relief and happiness. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to read it. Dreaming in English by Laura Fitzgerald is the sequel to Veil of Roses and a fantastic two book story. I absolutely loved both books.Dreaming in English continues the story of Tamila Sorush, an Iranian woman who came to America on a three month visa with the hope of entering an arranged marriage so she would be able to remain in America. After two failed attempts at arranged marriages to Persian men, Tami marries the man she truly loves, Ike, an American.Both Tami and Ike are special characters. The reader wants their marriage to be successful and their dreams to come true. Together they are an exceptional couple, but not without their critics. Ike's parents, especially his mother, is outraged by the marriage and tries to bully Tami into going back to Iran. A previous failed suitor, who has his own set of problems, is out to make sure her new marriage plans fail. Throughout the story, the reader is rooting for Tami and hoping that Immigration will approve her permanent residency request.I so enjoyed the minor characters in this book as well. Rose, Tami's friend, and Ardisher, Tami's brother-in-law were two of my favorites.This book will have you laughing, crying and cheering for Tamila. I highly recommend this satisfying sequel.
