review from the net
thick soup made with pomegranate, the famous recipe Mardżan Aminpur, primarily to to restore balance in the body. Even levels of humors. No wonder that became the title of the novel Marsha Mehran. Novel, full of aromas and flavors, but also very human whims, where uneven levels tend to lead to any strife. Zaognionych Especially, when suddenly appear close to a stranger. Someone else, a strange, coming off the beaten track and tattered uniforms. How right here ... when one day, Green Island, in the air rose the smell of Persia ...
"smells like heaven Or here, or do not know what ... 'They admitted some of the Irish, when they first became aware of existing in the air mixture of cardamom and ginger, rose water, basmatu, tarragon and savory ... Yes, the smell of that fateful morning, announced the beginning of the changes. But not all dragged him playfully in the lungs, to sweep everyday, but even in this godforsaken hole, which is undoubtedly Ballinacroagh, władanej by Thomas McGuire, she woke zziębnięte senses. On that day met two worlds. Sensual Iran Ireland and cool. Countries like in his tale, but so different. Not surprisingly, the Babylon Cafe exotica initially pushed even the bravest. However, if you can build it for a long time?
In the era of intrusive migration to the Green Isle has reached unless all nationalities. The Irish, however, although initially seemed to be nice, however turned out to be quite conservative in their, often for many specific, pursuits. What's more, their openness, not quite turned out to be what others recognize as such. Superficial, maybe ugrzeczniona was not filled with genuine and deep affection. On the other hand, as they surprised when a stranger with such gusto they began to invade a peaceful country so far. Why it is hardly surprising that the allies cold low garncami guys with gold does not open up, would not let anyone else but each other "its". And while time is slowly blurring, still it is. Therefore, Mehran's novel, the debut so much like chocolate, is the most sincere, plausible and, above all, very "on time". The author presenting the trials and tribulations Mardżan, Lali, and Bahar, sisters, that the heavy baggage of experience and the mystery had fled from Iran to hide on the Green Island, in fact, borrowed from the Irish daily life. World that has become a melting pot of various cultures. But also, though often compared to the Chocolate Quail in rose petals and spices Master, created its own story. Convergent only in the use of personal taste and experience, in which a citizen of the world as more than one state, is extremely well equipped.
heroines of her novels, three sisters, which assume Cafe Babylon, are Mardżan, full of verve, still young, complaining and grumpy Lejla, and usually depressed, melancholic Bahar. All carry the mystery, dreams and desires, but also fears. Marked by the fear of the past, but the magic of Persia, you want everything to offer. Especially living in this "land of sheep and wacky serpentine roads ...". And so the world of Ireland and Iran are mixed. People and feeling the same everywhere, can get along with each other. A love ... Well, like dwarfs and other fairy creatures, is present in all municipal. No need to wait a long time that worked the magic of both worlds, weaving a tight and delivering its own fruit.
Although this tale of female rather pleased readers are fans of the Irish of both sexes will surely find in it the author's love of the Celtic world, and its own distinctive insights. A great addition is, of course, elements of the Iranian cuisine, author of the generous hand which spread through the pages. Why not spend the characters and personalities to some stereotypical, but he throws in a bit of kindness, give the impression that Marsha Mehran wanted to change his novel into a fairy tale.
Actually, the question is this: Just Do we need another chocolate? In my opinion, yes, because the pomegranate soup is certainly not plagiarism. It is a struggle not to transmit culture, but the story of the insistent forgetting evil, escape from the nightmare of everyday life, find their own paradise, desire for happiness. But is it possible? Can not remember the nightmare about yourself? Because the grenade, although he attributed to the symbolism of death and evil, above all, hope. A collection of tiny grains, which may be the beginnings of something else ... Each of them, if you just give him a chance. But in Twardawa shell, which not everyone may want to measure.
