More about the book

Set against the backdrop of 1940s Baghdad, the narrative explores the complexities of life for an ancient Iraqi Jewish minority amidst rising Iraqi nationalism and anti-Jewish sentiment. Key historical events, including the violent Farûd pogrom in 1941 and the establishment of Israel in 1948, shape the characters' experiences and relationships. The novel poignantly captures the cultural heritage of this community while illustrating the profound changes that led to the mass exodus of Iraqi Jews to Israel in 1951.
