Book Description:

'This first novel by an Iraqi woman to be published in English in the United States is a hallucinatory incantationan ode to a city(with) its private courtyards and public baths where the women in Huda's life rage and pray and love and scream.'-Ms. Magazine

Now in paperback, Naphtalene captures a fierce and defiant young girl as she struggles to form her identity in 1950s Baghdad amid a world of unfulfilled women and family tragedies.
