The Baghdad Clock

so-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.

MrBook Wow! Why are you in Baghdad?! 6y

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) 6y

Amiable So funny--I assumed you were in/near Bagdad, Florida! 😀 (edited) 6y

The Baghdad Clock | Shahad Al Rawi

pick

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.
