Let me just say a warm welcome to you all, I'm the new Community Outreach Librarian and I look forward to getting to meet you all in the coming months.
Last Thursday we put Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday to bed. After much discussion the Between the Lines Book Club have decided to give the book a 4 Star rating. Some of the feedback about the book included:
"Hilarious"
"Nicely written, believable characters"
"Well-constructed and lovely"
Rosewater and Sodabread is about:
More than a year has passed since Marjan, Bahar, and Layla, the beautiful Iranian Aminpour sisters, sought refuge in the quaint Irish town of Ballinacroagh. Opening the beguiling Babylon Café, they charmed the locals with their warm hearts and delectable Persian cuisine, bringing a saffron-scented spice to the once-sleepy village. But when a young woman with a dark secret literally washes up on Clew Bay Beach, the sisters’ world is once again turned upside down. With pale skin and webbed hands, the girl is otherworldly, but her wounds tell a more earthly (and graver) story–one that sends the strict Catholic town into an uproar. The Aminpours rally around the newcomer, but each sister must also contend with her own transformation–Marjan tests her feelings for love with a dashing writer, Bahar takes on a new spiritual commitment with the help of Father Mahoney, and Layla matures into a young woman when she and her boyfriend, Malachy, step up their hot and heavy relationship.
Filled with mouthwatering recipes and enchanting details of life in Ireland, Rosewater and Soda Bread is infused with a lyrical warmth that radiates from the Aminpour family and their big-hearted Italian landlady, Estelle, to the whole of Ballinacroagh–and the world beyond. - Good Reads
That's all for this week see you agin next time.
