Dohuk Diary

High Tea in Mosul

Pauline, one of the two English ladies whose lives in Iraq are the subject of Lynne O’Donnell’s High Tea in Mosul, sends Lynne emails every few days describing what life is like in Dohuk, where she is living these days. They are fascinating for their descriptions of daily lives, which are punctuated sometimes by the violence of war, and always in its shadow.
