Description
A
relationship was a mathematical formula: the correct variables of age,
beauty, morality and finances were entered and the output was a
successful, peaceful marriage. It couldn't be, therefore, that their
Iranian son could feel desire for someone six years his senior, someone
who didn't come to him pure and untouched. I was an amusing visitor from
another world and soon enough I should return to it, fading quietly
into an anecdote ...
In her thirties, Jennifer
Klinec abandons a corporate job to launch a cooking school from her
London flat. Raised in Canada to Hungarian-Croatian parents, she has
already travelled to countries most people are fearful of, in search of
ancient recipes. Her quest leads her to Iran where, hair discreetly
covered and eyes modest, she is introduced to a local woman who will
teach her the secrets of the Persian kitchen.
Vahid,
her son, is suspicious of the strange foreigner who turns up in his
mother's kitchen; he is unused to seeing an independent woman. But a
compelling attraction pulls them together and then pits them against
harsh Iranian laws and customs.
Getting under the skin of one of the most complex and fascinating nations on earth, The Temporary Bride is a soaring story of being loved, being fed, and the struggle to belong.
