Baghdad bids you farewell

Author's name: Marwa Al-Jabardar Publisher: Al-Rafidain for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2025 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: Three women… three faces of betrayal and postponed dreams. They are united by a vague longing for a life not granted to them, and a faint thread of brokenness and inner exile. Their friendship grows in the shadows like a wildflower, seeking light and rebelling against darkness, until it becomes a partnership in wounds and an attempt at healing. And in a pivotal moment, when the present is heavy with betrayal and alleys are filled with questions, escape becomes a promise of salvation. They run towards men who are not skilled at rescue, and closed doors that only lead to deeper wounds, where hope turns into a new test. So, is salvation an act of escape or a painful birth of a lost identity? Can brokenness be the beginning of a new life? A novel about Baghdad that silently bids farewell to its children with painful silence, about a dream that blooms despite loss, and about ambiguous salvation between pain and the desire to rebirth.
