2017., Drawn & Quarterly Call No: GRAPHIC NOVEL POP Edition: 1st ed.: September 2017. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "... Brigitte Findalky [shares] memories of her middle class childhood [in Iraq] touching on cultural practices, the education system, Saddam Hussein's state control, and her family's history as Orthodox Christians in the arab world ... Signs of an oppressive regime permeate a seemingly normal life: magazines arrive edited by customs; the color red is banned after the execution of General Kassim; Baathist militiamen are publicly hanged and school kids are bussed past them to bear witness. As conditions in Mosul worsen over her childhood, Brigitte's father is always hopeful that life in Iraq will return to being secular and prosperous. The family eventually feels compelled to move to Paris, however, where Brigitte finds herself not quite belonging to either culture."--Provided by publisher.
