Marsha Mehran (born Tehran, Iran, 11 November 1977) is an Iranian-American novelist.
Mehran was born in Tehran. Her family left Iran and migrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1979, at the time of the Iranian Revolution, where they opened a Mediterranean restaurant. She grew up in Argentina and the United States, and has also lived in Australia and Ireland.[1]
Mehran's debut novel, Pomegranate Soup, was published in 2005. It is the story of three sisters who escape Iran at the time of Islamic Revolution in 1979 and eventually settle in a small town in the west of Ireland, where they open The Babylon Cafe. The novel includes a number of recipes, and combines "Persian cooking with Irish living."[1]
Mehran's second novel, Rosewater and Soda Bread, published in 2008, is a continuation of Pomegranate Soup.[2]
