Pomegranate Soup
by Marsha Mehran
A good March/springtime story. Three sister from Iran flee the revolution and end up in a small Irish village in 1986 where they open a Persian restaurant. They interfere with the bizarre plans of the local hotshot so he sets out to boycott the restaurant. But the delicious smells prove to be too much for some residents to ignore. The sisters slowly win over the town but are faced with their fair share of prejudice and are haunted by the past they escaped.
Overall, a light story that entertains the senses - recipes and detailed descriptions of Persian delicacies are interwoven through the story. A combination of Jan Karon's gentle village stories and Like Water for Chocolate's sensual food.
