Book: The Temporary Bride: A Memoir Of Love And Food In Iran

Jennifer Klinec

JENNIFER KLINES was always an adventurer. Born in Canada, she spent her 20s in an uneasily anchored wanderlust, inhabiting London’s corporate world by weekday, but would find herself in Istanbul or Naples by Friday night.

She travelled to eat and to learn and, by her early 30s, had set up a small cookery school. Then she flew to Iran — where she met a brusque, unsmiling, dark-haired man called Vahid.
