When the Apricots Bloom

Very powerful story of three women in Iraq during the period of Saddam Hussein.
Two of them are Iraqi women who have been friends since childhood. The third is an American woman, wife of the Australian deputy ambassador. All three have problems with the mukhabarat, basically the secret service. The authenticity of the writing reflects the author's own experiences living in Iraq during that period.
