Hiba El Charaani and Angela Nurpetlian LL15,000 Turning Point English and Arabic

There’s something about tetas, that’s for sure. Endless sources of advice (welcome or unwelcome), intriguing recipes and comfort, their power in Beirut is legendary. Fitting, then, that sparky local publisher Turning Point should choose to mark their 10th anniversary with a collection of grandmotherly wisdom, charmingly illustrated and packaged up pocket- sized for discussion over tea and biscuits – it’s enough to make you don your floral smock and half-moon glasses ahead of time. And because this is a caring, sharing, homely project, 50% of the net sales will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association Lebanon. Ellen Hardy
