A Pomegranate and the Maiden Tamara Agha-Jaffar

A plucked narcissus opens a chasm to the Underworld and sets into motion the timeless story of a daughter's search for independence, a father's feeble plans to control his house and his wife, and a mother's search for revenge. A Pomegranate and the Maiden explores the harrowing tale of Demeter and Persephone by giving new voice to the myth's gallery of memorable characters as each recounts the strange and shocking events surrounding a daughter's kidnapping and her mother's unforgettable scheme for justice.
