Very enjoyable read which immerses you in the culture of Iraqi Americans in the modern day. A mystery, romance, and history lesson all rolled together. Each chapter begins with a mini-chapter which weaves a "moralless tale of Abelrahman Salahadin" thus unfolding a folk tale alongside the novel. Very well written
