Riveting tale of suppression and beauty encountered throughout ~

As the story opens, two childhood friends are swearing a blood oath to each other to remain friends no matter what happens in their lives later on. The opening chapter focuses on one of the women, many years later, who is living in Baghdad and working at the Australian embassy. The secret police confront her and ask her to befriend the diplomat’s wife for spying purposes..this is a fascinating story of a recently bygone era that westerners know very little about. It’s a very riveting tale as the story develops.
