"Born to an Iraqi-Christian father and a British mother, and raised in Britain and Canada, Leilah Nadir has never set foot on Iraqi soil. Distanced from her Iraqi roots through immigration and now cut off by war, the closest link she has to the nation is through her father, who left Baghdad in the 1960s to pursue his studies in England. His Iraq is of mythical origins; his beginnings are in a garden at the family home that now lays vacant."--Provided by publisher. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The author attempts to pieces together a personal narrative from other people's stories as a family history. She even visits an old friend of her grandfather, events that certainly must hold great meaning for her, but don't succeed in as a story. Between the lines one can sense the frustration of being generation removed from one's heritage, but such alienation has been expressed better by many other writers. ( )
