Our book club pick this month was Pomegranate Soup
by Marsha Mehran. This is a lovely tale of three parent-less young sisters who leave Iran during the revolution.
This book centers on their arrival in Ireland, where they set up a wonderful restaurant. The ladies exotic looks and wonderful smells from the restaurant cause a commotion in the small village. Great flashbacks on their former lives in Iran give us a glimpse of what they went through. Mehran developed some wonderful characters and makes me want to visit their lovely (albeit non-existent) restaurant and chat over tea. I love how she throws a recipe at the end of every chapter.
Makes me hungry!
