This delightful novel combines romance, folk tales and current events to illustrate the Arab-American immigrant experience. Set against the backdrop of a Los Angeles community of Iraqi exiles, the author suffuses her already beautiful story with dishes and aromas from the Middle East in her belief that food is one of the most immediate and convincing ways of explaining cultural experience to another person. You will love the characters in this novel.
