But it's a full-time occupation for him to discover what integration really means. Happily, this distracts him from what is happening in his native land, Iraq, and from Leda, who stole his heart in the first village he stayed in after being granted refugee status. In this hilarious adventure story, we follow the lovable and gritty Samir as he talks his way into every type of accommodation to be found in this new country full of incomprehensible rules and habits. His perspective provides profound, sometimes painful insights about the West, in this timely exploration of the meaning of home, and making oneself at home against all odds. 500 $a First published as Holland in the Netherlands in 2020 by De Vrjie Uitgevers, Amersfoort. 546 $a In English, translated from Dutch. 650 0 $a Iraqis $z Netherlands $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Iraqis $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Iraqis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978866 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 651 0 $a Netherlands $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Western countries $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Netherlands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204034 651 7 $a Western countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01302083 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921574 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726649 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Reeder, Jonathan, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025254.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D98E3642AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
