The Saffron Kitchen

An interesting read.  Set in between the now and then time scenerio but not difficult to navigate between.  It's a story about a woman born and raised in Iran and how the times dictated choices we'd find hard to imagine and how the consequences affected her life.  The remarkable part of this book, for me anyway, was the ability of the author to make you feel like you could breathe the air and feel the essence of the time and place she ably describes.  Some authors have the ability to truly transport you.  This was one of them.
