This book is author Brigitte Findakly's memories of her family and her homeland Iraq, illustrated by her talented husband, the acclaimed cartoonist Lewis Trondheim. Sadly, the book is disappointing: the narrative is very disjointed, jumping around between actual historical events in Iraq, her family's struggles with its social, military, and economic standing, and a myriad of cultural and religious issues, especially challenging for Christians in an Islamic state. I would have liked a little more attention paid to Findakly's family photographs, which could have been clearer and would have benefited from some labels.… (altro)
I like this in theory, but in the classic creative writing idiom of "show, don't tell," it mostly felt like a lot of telling and little showing. Each episode seemed like it could contain a book in itself. I would revisit Findakly if other work offered more in depth insights.
I love Guy Delise's travelogues and this book was no different. An unsettling story of kidnapping, but well told with Guy's use of text and illustrations.

Brigitte Findkaly est née en Irak et elle nous raconte son enfance, sa famille, le travail de son père, la peur inhérente à la vie dans un régime autoritaire et des souvenirs pleins de candeur.
Un dessin magnifique au service d’une autobiographie pleine de poésie
