JASMINE AND FIRE : A BITTERSWEET YEAR IN BEIRUT
by Salma Abdelnour

This is a nothing book. The author (who currently lives and works in New York) moves back to Beirut where her family is from to write about the country and the food. She is a blogger and it's like you're reading it. Every chapter is a different month (like a diary) and it's boring. She gives incessant details about the cuisine and what she does every minute of each day. Who cares?
Not recommended.
