Event Description:

It's 1991 and the Gulf War is raging. Two girls, hiding in an air raid
shelter, tell stories to keep the fear and the darkness at bay, and a
deep friendship is born. And while the city collapses around them, the
sanctions bite and friends begin to flee, life goes on. People tend
their gardens, go dancing and celebrate weddings, and the girls share
their dreams, desires, school routines and first loves In her
brilliant debut novel, Shahad Al Rawi takes readers beyond the
familiar images in the news to show the everyday struggle of Baghdad's
people, revealing the reality of growing up in a war-torn city that's
slowly disappearing in front of your eyes. CMES events are open to the
public (no registration required), and off the record. Please note
that events may be filmed and photographed.
