Huda, a secretary at the Australian embassy, lives in fear of the mukhabarat--the secret police who watch and listen for any scrap of information that can be used against America and its allies. They have ordered her to befriend Ally Wilson, the deputy ambassador's wife. Huda has no wish to be an informant, but fears for her teenaged son, who may be forced to join a deadly militia. Nor does she know that Ally has dangerous secrets of her own. Huda's former friend, Rania, enjoyed a privileged upbringing as the daughter of a sheikh. Now her family's wealth is gone, and Rania too is battling to keep her child safe and a roof over their heads. As the women's lives intersect, their hidden pasts spill into the present. Facing possible betrayal at every turn, all three must trust in a fragile, newfound loyalty, even as they discover how much they are willing to sacrifice to protect their families.-- $c Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Women $z Iraq $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Informers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Undercover operations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mother and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Diplomats $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Diplomatic and consular service $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Embassy buildings $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Baghdad (Iraq) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sacrifice $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Betrayal $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Femmes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Irak $0 (CaQQLa)201-0192103 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a AmitieÌ feÌminine $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a OpeÌrations secreÌtes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Familles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a MeÌre et enfant $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Diplomates $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Service diplomatique et consulaire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Ambassades (EÌdifices) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Secret $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Sacrifice $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Trahison (Morale) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a Undercover operations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01160879 650 7 $a Sacrifice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103249 650 7 $a Mother and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026878 650 7 $a Female friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922609 650 7 $a Embassy buildings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908286 650 7 $a Diplomats. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894415 650 7 $a Diplomatic and consular service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894202 650 7 $a Betrayal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830942 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Secrecy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110644 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 651 7 $a Iraq $z Baghdad. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207444 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Informers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973196 650 7 $a Women. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Gender identity. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Family members. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Mothers. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Children. $2 homoit 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Spy fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726748 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Spy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20221024083326.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=101B9DEA539B11EDBD908E82193FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
