Books by Blei - Multicultural: Under the Persimmon Tree by Suzanne Fisher Staples

Under the Persimmon Tree
by Suzanne Fisher Staples

Recommended by:  John B.
This book is an interesting story on how two different people survived the same event. The event was the Pastun Talib group who would slaughter men  - liked goats - and had rules against happiness. The two main characters Najmah and Nusrat. The story Najmah goes that the Pastun Talib group took her father and her brother to right in a war after they invaded. Before he and his son left, the father told them to stay no matter what. That is exactly what they did. The story of Nusrat goes that Nusrat has a step-sister from America named Elaine. Elaine has a son named Jamshed, who is a very inquisitive person. Nusrat wants to show Elaine and the rest of them the beauty of meteors of which they think curse you. She teaches a class under a persimmon tree and later on they all join her.

This book was: Real life and love!

I would recommend this book to: Anyone who likes love stories.

I rate this book:
