Excellent audio book! Zainab tells the story of her childhood in Iraq, where her father was one of Saddam's pilots. She grew up calling Saddam 'Uncle' and remembers being afraid of him and his notoriously cruel sons. Hers is a sad, sad story, for many reasons. Beautifully written and excellent narration.
