A TEASPOON OF EARTH AND SEA
Author : Dina Nayeri Price : KES 2,800
Growing up in a small rice-farming village in 1980s Iran , 11-year-old Saba Hafezi and her twin sister , Mahtab , are fascinated by America . They keep lists of English vocabulary words and collect illegal copies of ‘ Life ’ magazine , tapes of TV shows and Beatles cassettes . When Saba ’ s mother and sister disappear , leaving her and her father alone in Iran , she is certain they have moved to America without her . As she grows into womanhood in the warm community of her village , Saba replaces her lost family with a quartet of surrogate mothers . But life in post-revolutionary Iran is limited for a girl of Saba ’ s talents . She aches for her lost mother and sister and for the Western life she believes she is being denied . Filled with a colourful cast of characters , ‘ A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea ’ is told in a bewitching voice that mingles the rhythms of Eastern storytelling with direct Western prose and tells a story about the importance of controlling one ’ s own fate .
