As a habitual writer, I also read. A lot. And have therefore decided to incorporate a Book of the Week choice into this blog. Look forward to some fantastic literary recommendations every Thursday. ;-)
"The Saffron Kitchen" by Yasmin Crowther is a favorite of mine about an Iranian family in London. Much of the novel focuses on the love between a mother and daughter (an ironic theme for me, personally) and the price of freedom.
I picked this up last summer on the clearance shelf outside the entrance of Borders. To go along with the cost versus value motif that appears in the story, I bought this for less than three dollars, but wouldn't give it up for thirty.
"The Saffron Kitchen" beautifully describes London and Tehran, sweeping the reader away, and gives a unique portrayal of family ties.
