A woman in Iraq
This book of a woman's ordeal at the hands of Arabs in post First
World War Mesopotamia (now modern day Iraq) is such a riveting
account that to describe too much would be to spoil the experience
for the reader. The young wife and mother, Zetton Buchanan, had
joined her husband, Captain 'Billy' Buchanan of the RAF, on his
eastern posting with a degree of expectation and sense of impending
adventure. Nothing she could have imagined would have prepared her
for the events that followed. This is a touching and inspirational
first hand account of a young woman's ability to cope with tragedy
and overcome astonishing difficulties. Although the narrative takes
place in the 1920s there is much with the pages of Zetton
Buchanan's book that resonates with the experiences of many in this
still troubled land. A recommended read for those interested in
women's issues.
