Dreaming of Baghdad by Haifa Zangana
5.0
This is the book that made me so tearful, I had to hold it to my chest and weep to myself.

Haifa Zangana writes about her history as a political activist fighting Saddam Hussein's reign in Iraq. Moving between three prisons, she shares the story of life as a woman, a daughter and an Iraqi who longs to return home but doubts it exists anymore.

'That hot summer's day, Baghdad's back alleys witnessed four men chasing and shooting at a young man who thought he knew his beloved city as well as he knew himself. He fired back before collapsing to the ground, covered in blood.'
