The young woman's closeups of life of the Baghdad of that time are intimate memories triggered by the onslaught of the invasion of Iraq. Long seemingly lost voices come alive, painting portraits of the city, family life, customs and cultures. A young woman's coming of age in the Arab world is charmingly sketched, French Convent School, the Indian community in Baghdad, peaceful upper middle class everyday life is shown in its familiarity and self understoodness. Then again this world is set within historical developments and political interests of European and American powers in the Middle East, where the larger picture is drawn. The jump in scale continues with even larger sweeps of a cultural background drawn back to the Assyrians, the Golden Age of Baghdad until an intricate palimpsest holds the various pieces as a journey into the past with an eye on the present and a hope for the future of Baghdad, that it may become once again a blooming multicultural hub open and vibrant to the world and its inhabitants.This book is a must read for all those interested in the multilayered past and potential of a beautiful Arab city Baghdad.
