(Book on CD)

Compact discs.

Read by Necar Zadegan and Assaf Cohen.

Both sides of Rita's family came to the United States in the golden years of immigration, and in her home north of Boston Rita grows into a stubborn and relentlessly bright young woman. She studies Arabic at her university and moves to cosmopolitan Beirut to work as a journalist and is then posted to Iraq after the American invasion in 2003. In Baghdad, her safety depends on her talented interpreter, Nabil al-Jumaili, an equally driven young man from a middle-class Baghdad family who is hiding a secret about his sexuality. As Nabil's identity threatens to put him in jeopardy and Rita's position becomes more precarious as the war intensifies, their worlds start to unravel, forcing them out of the country and into an uncertain future.
