A Brighter Fear
Kerry Drewery
A beautiful love story and contemporary fairytale set against the backdrop of the Iraq war, this stunning and moving novel will break your heart, only to put it back together again…This is the story of Lina, a teenage girl from Baghdad. It starts in 2003, as the bombs begin to fall on the city.In it, Lina fights to survive, to find a life for herself amid the chaos of war, to find what happened to her mother in the years before the war, when she was taken away by the secret police. She also falls in love, with the one person she should never have fallen in love with.It is many things. It is a love story, both for a country and for a person. It is about an amazing girl, growing up in the worst circumstances imaginable. It contains a necklace, that was lost but might still be found. And that is all we can say, without ruining this extraordinary and beautiful modern fairy tale…
Dedication
To Russ and to Dad, with love.
To PH, with thanks for listening... and listening...
And to Karen and Sally, with fond memories of
so many cups of coffee drunk and
too many chip baguettes eaten.
