This novel is narrated in two parts. In the first
part, a young couple and their children look
everywhere to find a house. At last they rent a
house-garden for living. It seems that this house
has been deserted since some times ago. A woman,
called Pari, is its gardener and housekeeper. The
deep emotional connection between the children
and Pari, besides the mother's curiosity in the
depth of all the financial problems, takes the
reader to the second part. Pari belongs to this new
world, where time has no place and meaning in it.
And now, the family lives in a garden house with a
person, who has eternal memories and love.
This novel depicts life's cruelty and the love and
affection, which could be part of life and yet is
missing from it. |

| To Wither or to Blossom,
Translated to English by
M. Alexandrian |
-
My silver faced girl
of my restless country!
who are you that the tooth of greed
is scratching on the veins of your arms
and plundering
your silver body.
- My eyes, endless black wells,
and my lips are rosy red
with the same fate
- to wither or to blossom -
my body spreads the perfume of earth
and my arms spreads the perfume of labor.
? - My daughter who has known the taste of being
awake,
why are you so restless
like the fish in the net.
- This is a dance between death and life;
the hunter
is awaiting to lay my body into earth;
the sea
has opened her arms to take me to her embrace.
The sea,
the embrace,
the hunter,
the dagger.
I,
all the gaze;
on a living and fighting heart
deprived of its body
beats blood on the earth. |
