The Language of Baklava: A Memoir, by Diana Abu-Jaber
5.0
Abu-Jaber's memoir is like velvet with its descriptions; the way she writes is (not to be cliche) captivating. You feel yourself transported to different times, different locations, and different emotions. In my mind I can imagine the people she grew up with, the experiences she had, and the people she encountered.
A good book transports you to a different time and place.
The recipes in here sound delicious, like better versions of some of the heavy Egyptian fare I had while abroad.
