A review by granbeck
Children of the Jacaranda Tree by Sahar Delijani

3.0

This book was pretty great, and the descriptions of the many events taking place in a divided Tehran, Iran, horrifyingly real. The language was colourful yet easily understood and the stories of the people were devastatingly moving. I definitely recommend giving this a read; the only thing I found lacking was that there were many perspectives, characters and time lapses that were involved, which was somewhat confusing and I found myself many times going back to past parts of the book to check facts and make sure that I understood everything correctly.
