But they soon find themselves caught up in the post-revolutionary chaos that sweeps across their ancient land. Bahar's mother, after a tragic loss, embarks on a long, eventful journey in search of meaning in a world swept up in the post-revolutionary madness. Told from the wise yet innocent gaze of a young girl, The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree speaks of the power of imagination when confronted with cruelty and of our human need to make sense of trauma through the ritual of storytelling itself. Through her unforgettable characters, Azar weaves a timely and timeless story that juxtaposes the beauty of an ancient, vibrant culture with the brutality of an oppressive political regime. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Magic realism (Literature) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Iran $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islam and civil society $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y Revolution, 1979 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y 1979-1997 $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Ayyar, Priya, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12843376?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781690584261_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20200403012033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D119DD04757211EA9A5BA35697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
