We see a hole in the ground and a the run down dictator.I 'it's like a movie or novel'. But I realized that the combination of journalism and fiction not always is a happy one. Yet it is very well possible to write a suspenseful novel and situate it in an existing world. Judit Neurink's latest novel is situated mainly in the Kurdish part of Iraq during Saddam Hussein's cruel rule. She knows the decors and images there, as a journalist in the Middle East she saw them up close.A large part of the story covers the search for a kidnapped child. We are confronted with political intrigue in an atmosphere of threats and danger. But nowhere, the story loses its believability, this does not seem to be made up, it is real.The scene I enjoyed most reminds me of the TV the hole under the ground where Saddam was found. Here, Neurink brings the three main characters in the book together. Here, the last conversation takes place, reluctant at first and full of questions, but then more confronting. It's about revenge and destruction, but also about 'how to go on from here?' And that's exactly what I would like to know myself too.It's fiction, but it feels as if I was there.Rina Spigt, journalistWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
