Rosewater & Soda Bread by Marsha Mehran is a sequel to the lovely Pomegranate Soup. The three Aminpour sisters, Marjan, Bahar and Layla, originally from Iran, establish a successful cafe in an Irish village. In this book a mysterious young girl is taken in by the Aminpour sisters' friend Estelle. The girl has tried to abort her baby, a crime in Ireland, and she won't speak so they are unable to establish her identity. Marjan finally discovers where the girl came from and they then learn her story. This is another very nice story about the characters in this village. There are all sorts - some busybodies who see the Iranian girls as "heathens", the priest, the young man returned to his estate, and many others. 31/2/5Wednesday, April 29, 2009
