Are you ready for me, you on the free side of the bars? Are you ready for my story? Are you ready for foulness and sweetness together in your mouth? It is a story you will not be able to rinse out for a long time. Yet it is not very much different from hundreds and thousands of other stories in this country. Except for the moment I still live. See what Iraq has made me? Fear and danger are always present in Baghdad. two very different men, Malik and Aadil, strangers to each other, know this only too well. All they want for their families is a normal and safe existence, free from the terror and desperation of bombs, gunfire and homelessness. How each of them is compelled to find the humanity and beauty in a world torn apart forms the riveting basis of this tale of intrigue, suspense, friendship and hope. Flowers of Baghdad is a breathtaking and heartwrenching novel in the tradition of the Kite Runner, and a story that brings the lives of ordinary people in strife-torn Baghdad luminously into focus.
