The Language of Baklava

The Language of Baklava

by Diana Abu-Jaber

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2006
  • PAPER
  • 330 PAGES

In this evocative culinary memoir, the Jordanian-American novelist recalls growing up with her gregarious, homesick Jordanian father, who, like many an immigrant before him, cooked to remember the place he came from and to pass that connection on to his children. Abu-Jaber weaves together memories and recipes into an evocative tale of cultural displacement, shared meals, and home.  (JRD22, $14.95)
