Book Summary –
Love in a Torn Land is a powerful true story that follows the life of Joanna al-Askari, a young Kurdish woman who grew up amid the brutal oppression of Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq. The book tells of her passionate love for Latif, a Peshmerga (Kurdish freedom fighter), and their struggle to be together in a war-ravaged country. As they fight for survival and justice, the couple endures imprisonment, separation, and constant danger. Their story is a blend of romance, resistance, and resilience set against the backdrop of genocide, war, and political tyranny. Jean Sasson vividly captures the courage of ordinary people living under extraordinary circumstances and sheds light on the plight of the Kurdish people during one of the most violent chapters in Iraq’s history.
