A review by dafni
The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar

adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious sad medium-paced

4.5

This book reminds us the strength people gain through storytelling, fantasy, cultural heritage and imagination under political regimes of oppression and violence. We witness the life experience of Islamic Revolution in Iran through the eyes of Bahar’s family. My heart is heavy; feelings of sadness, anger and powerlessness. A great example of magic realism.
