Enlightenment Of The Greengage Tree: Farsi Edition

Using the lyrical magic realism style of classical Persian storytelling, Azar draws the reader deep into the heart

of a family caught in the chaos that sweeps across an ancient land and its people in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Exquisitely written, Azar is the consummate storyteller, using the panoply of Persian mythical and mystical entities to bring life, humour, hope, resignation, and profound insights to the characters and their world.

It is simultaneously confronting and transcendent.
