The Lemon Grove
あらすじ・解説
Identical twins Ruzbeh and Behruz are at the center of Ali Hosseini's debut novel in English - a story about love, redemption, and the courage to survive in the face of calamity and loss. The novel begins in the small town in southern Iran where the boys were raised and in their summer home which is surrounded by a lemon grove. Their idyll is shattered by personal and geopolitical events. Both boys fall in love with Shireen, a childhood friend. Behruz goes to America to escape the pain of competing for Shireen's affections. Ruzbeh fights in the Iran/Iraq war and ends up alone and wandering the streets. When Behruz returns to Iran to help his shell-shocked brother, he finds the country devastated by revolution and war. His return sets off a string of events that change all their lives.
Audible制作部より
The story of twin brothers Ruzbeh and Behruz, torn apart by war and the love of a woman, The Lemon Grove paints a vivid portrait of cultural change and family strife in 1980s Iran. Performer Casey Jones' deep, soothing baritone sounds at home amid the pastoral lemon grove of the twins' elegiac childhood, but as innocence gives way to the chaos of war, Jones' reveals the regret and betrayal that cleaves at the brothers. Jones has a knack for accents and dialects, capturing the shifting cultural landscape as Behruz travels to America in search of a new life. As brother Ruzbeh struggles with violence and poverty in war torn Iran, Behruz is moved by a growing desire to return home and set things right.
