Yet as she moves into a tumbling Ottoman house in the heart of the Old City, she is unprepared for the complex world that awaits her: an ancient capital where Sunni and Shia Muslims, Christians, Alawites, Kurds, and Palestinian and Iraqi refugees share a fragile co-existence. 309 pp.
this book has everything ? good writing, amazing story. I knew that it was a memoir, but by halfway through I was so involved that I honestly forgot ? it reads like a novel very well put together.
