Pomegranate Soup
Marsha Mehran

It’s been seven years since Marjan Aminpour fled Iran with her younger sisters, Bahar and Layla, and she hopes that in a land of “crazed sheep and dizzying roads” they might find a home in what looks like a safe haven, Ireland.

The sensuous wafts of cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron float through the streets of their adopted town, announcing the opening of the Babylon Café — a shock to a community reared on boiled cabbage and Guinness but an affront to the senses of the local uncrowned king, Thomas McGuire. Soon the mysterious, spicy fragrances work their magic on the Aminpours’ other neighbors.

Marjan is thrilled with the demand for her red lentil soup, abgusht stew, and rosewater baklava — and with the transformation in her sisters. But the idyll is broken when the past rushes back to endanger the Aminpours, and the lives they left behind in revolution-era Iran threaten to envelop their Irish oasis.

Infused with textures and scents, trials and triumphs of two distinct cultures, Pomegranate Soup is an infectious novel of magical realism. This richly detailed story, highlighted with delicious recipes, is a delectable journey into the heart of Persian cooking and Irish living.
