  • Fundamentally

    By Nassaibah Younis
    4 stars

    A funny book following Nadia an academic who takes a UN job in Iraq to deradicalise ISIS brides. Out of her depth she bumbles along but then meets a young bride she commits to saving. Interesting as the author was inspired to write the novel based on her experiences working in Baghdad and being asked by the Iraq govt to design a deradicalization program for women associated with ISIS. She describes her time as maddening, fascinating and bonkers and I think the novel although fiction may reflect that.
