On the morning of 11 January Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, the deputy head of Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, was in his car on his way to work when he was blown up by a magnetic bomb attached to his car door. He was 32 and married, with a young son. He wasn't armed, or anywhere near a battlefield. I, Mostafa's Mother is an emotional remembrance of the character and life of this martyred scientist from the viewpoint of his mother. Rahim Makhdoomi quotes the memoir in a well-structured context and recreates the reminiscent of Mostafa’s mother with a simple social language. Excerpt of the book: I love the same Mostafa as it is now. He had no fear; not a coward who is afraid of his job! If I had the power to take my boy back, no doubt I would take him! However, with all of my love, I can’t ignore his firmness and single-mindedness. I loved his goal and the fact that he was a man!
