The Wife of the Emir of Fallujah

“Painted with the objectivity of a seasoned war correspondent, the novel’s characters dwell in the vast area separating good from evil. The author offers no moral judgment of any kind amid the explosions, executions and horrible deaths that befell most of the book’s main characters.” –Shady Lewis Botros, award-winning author of On the Greenwich Meridian

In a US-occupied Iraq torn apart by war and sectarian violence, a group of westerners, Arabs and Iraqis share the experience of dealing with life-and-death challenges as they try to carve out a semblance of a normal life amid the chaos and lawlessness.

With characters who may never meet under normal circumstances, the book brings them together in often tragic situations induced by their survival instincts, ambition, or hatred.
