註釋Annotation Set in Basra, Iraq, during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), this novel follows the lives of Anwar, a newly minted architect, and the other members of his affluent family as they attempt to maintain a sense of normality during frequent bombing attacks from Iran. After Anwar joins the Iraqi army and goes missing in action, his family struggles to cope with uncertainty over his fate. His mother falls into depression and secludes herself in the family home, while his father shifts his attention from his duties as a judge to the weekly pilgrimage to Baghdad seeking information on his son - and to Zahra, the young widow he meets there.
