The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar

challenging dark sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

An interesting, sad, and layered book. There were parts I loved where the writing really shone and the author's emotional intelligence and grief were immediately apparent, but other times where I got a little lost. I'd recommend it, especially to anyone interested in the history of Iran, but it is, at many points, a tough read.
