For the next six years, she lived in Baghdad and Beirut, where she dodged bullets during sectarian street battles, chronicled the Arab world's first peaceful revolution, and watched Hezbollah commandos invade her Beirut neighborhood. Throughout all of it, she broke bread with Sunnis and Shiites, warlords and refugees, matriarchs and mullahs. \u003ci\u003eDay of Honey \u003c\/i\u003eis her story of the hunger for food and friendship during wartime--a communion that feeds the soul as much as the body. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn lush, fiercely intelligent prose, Ciezadlo uses food and the rituals of eating to uncover a vibrant Middle East most Americans never see. We get to know people like Roaa, a young Kurdish woman whose world shrinks under occupation to her own kitchen walls; Abu Rifaat, a Baghdad book lover who spends his days eavesdropping in the ancient city's legendary cafés; and the unforgettable Umm Hassane, Ciezadlo's sardonic Lebanese mother-in-law, who teaches her to cook rare family recipes (included in a mouthwatering appendix of Middle Eastern comfort food). From dinner in downtown Beirut to underground book clubs in Baghdad, \u003ci\u003eDay of Honey \u003c\/i\u003eis a profound exploration of everyday survival--a moving testament to the power of love and generosity to transcend the misery of war.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnia Ciezadlo \u003c\/b\u003ehas written about culture, politics, and the Middle East for \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForeign Policy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e, and Lebanon's \u003ci\u003eDaily\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eStar\u003c\/i\u003e.
