This was a book I read after a long hiatus. What can I say except what a perfect book to come back to reading with.
A book that warms you on cold wintry nights.
Marjan, Bahar and Layla escape the terrors of Iran into the unpronounceable Irish town of Ballinacroagh . There Marjan starts her Babylon Cafe. There she serves the local exotic dishes seasoned with mysterious spices that hint of hope , dreams and other forbidden pleasures. There snakes in this paradise and the sisters have to deal with them.
This is an evocative narrative that is filled with the fragrance of the Marjan's cooking, the lushness of Layla's burgeoning beauty yet shadowed by the dark despair that follows Bahar.
Pick it up- You'll love not only the three sisters and the townspeople , you'll also be tempted to try the recipes from Marjan's kitchen.
A perfect book-club selection
