SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: THE BAGHDAD CLOCK A Reading and Conversation with Award-Winning Iraqi Novelist Shahad Al Rawi and Translator Luke Leafgren
DESCRIPTION:Baghdad\, 1991. In the midst of the first Gulf War\, a young Iraqi girl huddles with her neighbors in an air raid shelter. There\, she meets Nadia.

But as they grow older and the bombs continue to fall\, the international sanctions bite and friends begin to flee the country\, the girls must face the fact that their lives will never be the same again.
