At the beginning of America's occupation of Iraq, 15 years after leaving Baghdad, Zeina returns to her war-torn homeland as an interpreter for the US Army where she finds herself torn by conflicting allegiances. Her traditional grandmother, the only family member that Zeina believes she has in Iraq, disapproves of her granddaughter's involvement with the occupying forces. Whilst in Baghdad, Zeina meets two 'brothers' she knows nothing of. When she falls deeply in love with Muhaymin, a militant in the Al Mehdi Army, she begins to question all her values

The American Granddaughter | Inaam Kachachi

pick

Originally from Iraq, Zeina has been living in the US since adolescence after her Father was tortured by the government and fled the country.

Decades later, Zeina returns to Iraq as a translator for the US Army.

This is a story of conflict. The conflict of countries. The conflict of blurred lines. The conflict within a family and the conflict within ourselves.

The war on Iraq is an uncomfortable one and this is an uncomfortable read.
