This is a really well-crafted book. I loved the plot and the pacing. The story grabs your interest right from the start and doesn't let go. Three sisters leave Iran on the eve of the Revolution. They create a new life in the UK admist prejudice and distrust by the English and Irish, but events from their lives in Iran still have a way of coming back to haunt them. The author manages to create believable characters in both Iran and the UK. The added bonus this book gives its readers are the fabulous Persian recipes. While I haven't tried the recipes yet, they sure seem tasty. I loved this book so much I think I'll keep this one on my bookshelf at home instead of putting it up on PBS.
