Booktalk: Diana Abu-Jaber and “Birds of Paradise”

Miami comes alive in this novel of sun, sand and a family of four, including Avis the mom and Gallic-style baker, Brian the real-estate lawyer dad, Stanley the stoic son and beautiful Felice, the runaway daughter. Jordanaian-American Diana Abu-Jaber’s newest title, a culinary memoir, is “Life Without a Recipe. ”
