SYNOPSIS:
From the back of the box:
"39 year old Sirine, never married, lives with a devoted uncle and an adoring dog named King Babar in the Persian and Arab-American community of Los Angeles. She works as a chef in a Lebanese restaurant, her passions aroused only by food - until an unbearably handsome Arabic literature professor starts dropping by for a little home cooking. Falling in love with Hanif brings Sirine's whole heart to a boil - stirring up memories of her parents and questions about her own identity as an Arab American. Meanwhile, a host of magnificent characters do their best to interfere with her life, including her storytelling uncle, an admiring photographer, and her matchmaking boss. A timely introduction to the richness of Middle Eastern culture - especially as revealed in its food and its story-telling - and its vitality in America, Cresent is a romance as intelligent as it is sensuous, and a gripping tale of risk and commitment."
