The Palace of the Sad Birds | Bakhtiar Ali

In this novel, three lovers propose at the same time, and the beauty of Baghdad, "Sosanguldançi". They are different from each other, and Sosanguldançi is not only different from all of them, but from any girl they have known before: she is an avid reader, who has come to know the entire world while sitting in her room. A frail girl with a modest appearance, but her charm has a magical effect on the spirit of everyone who lays eyes on her. The reader of this novel lives wonderful hours with its characters. He may forget all the girls and become attached to Sosanguldançi and her deep secrets, he may forget the adventures of the three "Dumas" knights; to spend time with the three "Bakhtiar" knights to where their hearts sent them… He may forget the places around him; moving between (Khabro Doyar cellar), (Bepoli Azad café), and (Algoldançi palace)… This novel, like most of Bakhtiar Ali's work, is a charming collection of small life details, introducing you to the bright face of Kurdish literature and the other face of Kurdistan… Kurdistan which you hear of but do not know…
