Humor, romance, and tradition all combine in an enjoyable chick-lit tale, Iranian style."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"Lyrical, vivid, and warm...Although there are differences in Mina's and Darya's American experiences, the author effectively evokes the pull both women feel toward Iran. She creates empathy for a people forced to live one life in public and another privately."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Sparkling dialogue and warm characters make Kamali's debut novel perfect for book clubs."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"Compassionate, funny, and wise, <i>Together Tea</i> is a treasure of a novel. Marjan Kamali creates a wonderfully loving and real story about a mother and daughter, and their complicated cultural identity. Its remarkable scope-from 1970s Tehran to 1990s New York-is beautifully rendered."--Jill Davis, bestselling author of <b><i>Girls' Poker Night</i></b><br><br>"Marjan Kamali's thoughtful novel presents the story of a young Iranian woman's coming of age in modern America and her mother's parallel journey from the old world to the new. Kamali's writing spans oceans yet depicts a common humanity--a lovely work."--Rishi Reddi, award-winning author of <b><i>Karma and Other Stories</b></i><br><br>"Smart and witty, with characters so dear you want to pack your suitcase and travel with them wherever they can take you. How lucky I feel to have been given this baklava-delicious gift of Persian immersion from a New York point of view."--<b>Elinor Lipman</b><br>
