What I'm reading now...

Aside from the huge pile of essays on my desk at home (I don't seem to get any time to mark them at school) I have begun to read 'Pomegranate Soup' by Marsha Mehran. It is set in Ireland and follows the story of three Iranian sisters who seek refuge in Ireland. It is a fictitious story, but interestingly the author is Iranian and has lived in Ireland. I am enjoying it thus far and will be sure to share more of my thoughts as I progress. At present I love the way she creates atmosphere. The characters have emerged as rather quaint with their own idiosyncrasies. Ballinacroagh sounds like an interesting little village for as the setting for three Iranian refugee sisters.

Well I had best get to my reading.
