Experiences in two refugee camps follow, and Tara and her family wonder if their life will ever be what it was before.Īs I said before, I was disappointed with this book. The journey continues when the village becomes the target of brutal bombing raids, and it seems that the family must become refugees in order to escape danger. Things all happen in short order after that, and the Hawramis, who find themselves dodging the Iraqi government, find themselves living in a remote Kurdish village that is unlike anything they have ever known. Tara has always known that she was a Kurd, and has maybe even faintly known that Kurds are hated by the Iraqi goverment.but one day, when walking home from school, she sees a teenaged Kurdish boy die for his beliefs. She has what we would call a normal life-living in a nice house, going shopping with her best friend, and having the mistaken feeling that nothing particularly bad is going to happen to her. Tara Hawrami is a thirteen-year-old girl living in Iraq in the 1980's.
