Mehso-so

The story of two girls and the neighborhood they live in in Baghdad, this had aspects that didn‘t entirely work for me but it is an interesting look at the lives of regular people from the First Gulf War up to now.

Baghdad (as per the title of the tagged book)
I read too eclectically to declare a favorite.
Jane Austen
Silk by Alessandro Baricco

MrBook Wow! Why are you in Baghdad?! 5y
BookNAround @MrBook Obviously I read that question differently than you did. LOL! I‘m living in the pages of the book so much right now that that‘s what I thought it was asking, not where I physically am right now (the rather less exotic Charlotte, NC). 😂😂😂 (edited) 5y
Amiable So funny--I assumed you were in/near Bagdad, Florida! 😀 (edited) 5y

EchoLogical I did place the question in the pages of the book. Sorry about that. 🤣 5y

Litsi I too read broadly. That‘s probably why we both read Silk! (edited) 5y

With wonder and beauty Shahad Al Rawi's rhythmic prose transports you beyond the news reports of the Gulf War of 1991 and allows a glimpse of the neighborhood and the people of Baghdad and what it was like to grow up in the war torn city.

My current read - I‘ve neglected it for far too long and it‘s already off to a beautiful start!!!
