Description

It is the eternal, traditional story: girl-meets-recession, recession-causes-girl-to-move-to-Iraq. I've Iraq in My Own Footwear uses the writer out-of her safe place and in to the Middle-East. Getting the enjoyment of Sophie Kinsella and the humor of Jen Lancaster and shifting it towards the leave, this is actually the tale of the solitary, style-obsessed American woman who discovers himself metaphorically strapping on the Kevlar caftan to function in Iraq for annually. Irreverent and amusing, saucy and wise, it is a story of classes both taught and learned, and all-in the middle of the war-zone: from instructing Iraqi ladies in headscarves while sporting custom pumps to suffering the waste and disappointment of substantial baggage costs.
