Khedairi conveys all the surreality of life during wartime, especially for a teenager, whose development moves through the full range of adolescent discovery and complexity even as the city around her is virtually shut clown by blackouts, food shortages, and the loss of a generation of young men. The death of her father, her first love affair, and a diagnosis of breast cancer for her mother catapult the narrator into adulthood, and she has become a clear-eyed, cosmopolitan young woman by the time she brings her mother to London for medical treatment.
This is a rare look at iraqi life from the inside out, in which we see a young womancome to terms with both East and West in a way that few Americans ever do, she stands alone at the finish, viewing her home country from a great distance, and herself as an adult who has learned to choose her own way.
