This is a collection of short stories written at different intervals of time. Each story differs then the other; some are fiction, some are non fiction and others are fable. What I understood is that this book was an introduction to build a fan base for the writer, so people can be acquainted with her style of writings and for her to get a feedback from them. Even though her collection of short stories differed from one another, it had one thing in common and that is her passion for her country and her longing to one day go back to Iraq and gets reunited with her family and friends.
The reason I gave it 4* and not less is because I felt this book was written from the heart.
