Book About:

The present book contains a powerful story of the days of war and fire during the invasion of Iran by the Iraqi army. Razieh, the heroine of the story, is a little girl who with the start of the war is forced to leave her home and town along with her family. At their home, there was a palm tree they called Razieh Tree, which her father had planted in the yard on the occasion of her birthday and named it Razieh Tree. Razieh was deeply interested in that tree. After Razieh left, the tree and her brother, Yahya, who had stayed to defend their home and town, were left to their own devices. The author of the book tells the story of those bitter days of war and destruction from the tree’s perspective. He talks about the enemy’s atrocities, the silence of their town, the destruction and demolition, and especially the bravery of her brother Yahya, who heroically resisted the enemy and was finally martyred at the foot of that tree.
