"The small Irish village of Ballinacroagh is an insular, isolated place whose residents don't quite know what to make of the three Iranian sisters, refugees from their country's revolution, who have just purchased a former bakery with plans to open a cafe. Though some residents are enticed by the aromas wafting out of the cafe and by the sisters' warm personalities, others side with the town bully, who fears the restaurant will put his pub out of business. Incredibly descriptive - of both the food and the people - this debut includes 13 Persian recipes, and has been compared to Chocolat and Like Water for Chocolate. If you enjoy it, you can meet the Ballinacroagh inhabitants again in Rosewater and Soda Bread."
