Summary
Nothing can be done to take back that tiny millisecond when one soul recognizes another.
Artfully weaving together three lives, three coasts and three generations, Kathy Aspden's breathtaking debut, Baklava, Biscotti, and an Irishman is a dazzling pastiche of love, deception, acceptance and forgiveness.
When the choices that Teressa, Danny and Gregory make intersect with circumstances out of their control, they must straddle a fine line between what is right and what is unimaginable to live without. What would I do for the sake of a child?
Baklava, Biscotti, and an Irishman is a deeply moving story about the dynamics of love and loss, and what it takes to survive both. (From the publisher.)
