Beschreibung

Iraqi Said Jensen, living in Norway, is forever haunted by the ghost of his father, killed by the Iraqi regime before he was born, and nightmarish visions. On being called to Baghdad where a mass grave, possibly holding his father's remains, will be opened, he thinks about the peaceful cherry orchard his neighbour Jakob was laid to rest in.
Through the story of Iraqi Said Jensen, who is granted asylum in Norway and builds his life there but is forever haunted by his father's disappearance, Iraqi author Azher Jirjees's debut novel captures brilliantly the way Iraqi life flips from reality to unreality and back as people have to find ways to live with the bloody horrors and deprivation that count as 'normal life', leading to countless people fleeing and countless others thrown into mass graves. A monumental account of human endurance in the face of mounting horrors.

    Thousands of students on this campus, and I keep being set up with the roommate I can’t stand. 
    Felix 
    One date. 
    That’s how long it takes for Marshall Harrows to end up on my bad side. 
    Luckily I have no plans to see the giant teddy bear again. Except when he shows up as my new roommate, I can’t escape him, and he’s just as irritating as I thought he’d be. 
    He leaves cupboards ajar and puts empty milk cartons back in the fridge. His bedroom door is always open, I find his underwear on the laundry floor, and he has this whole bashful sweetheart thing going on that I just … can’t … stand. 
    But the most completely, horribly irritating thing about him is that he’s totally my type. 
    And my friends won’t stop setting us up on blind dates. 
    Marshall 
    One date. 
    That’s how long it took for Felix Andrews to steal my heart. 
    The sparky little spitfire is everything I’m not. Confident, adorable, and completely outspoken. 
    He also wants nothing to do with me. Which is a real problem when I want to give him everything. Including my virginity. 
    But the more I try to gain his attention, the more I see the real him. The one who doesn’t feel worthy of being treated like anything other than a one-night stand. So I decide to take matters into my own hands. 
    A total do-over. One night. One date. Where hopefully I can steal his heart too.
