This blog to share my love of reading and the joy of opening a new book with a network of fellow bookworms. I'll talk about cozy book stores I've visited, frugal finds for a tiny fraction of the list cost, and books in my TBR and ARC piles. I love to write reviews so as Goldilocks would say there may be some that are hot, some cold and some just right. You might find out just a wee bit about me as well. I hope you enjoy bookworm's dinner.

Children of the Jacaranda TreeChildren of the Jacaranda Tree by Sahar Delijani
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ISBN-978-1-4767=0909-3
Atria Books
Published: 2013
Novel: History-Iran, post-revolutionary Iran, 1983-2011

This is one of the best books I have read this year!  Sahar Delijani has a poetically beautiful writing style. She is able to capture the smallest nuance of life. When you read Children of the Jacaranda Tree, you will be immersed in the lives of people caught up in ongoing conflict in Iran from 1979.  You will experience their lives as if a person is dictating it to those who can not see. The detail is spot on, the imagery is gorgeous.  As a reader, I felt connected to the lives of the characters in her book. Honestly, it was a visual movie in my mind. Such a talented writer. Don't mis this one.
