The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar

5.0

This book was nothing short of phenomenal. I loved how the story jumped between time and perspectives and incorporated Persian myths and mythical creatures!!! The writing and translation was fantastic. The author oscillated between sobering political critique and whimsical magical realism, all with round, complex characters. It was a treasure and will come highly recommended!
