«Les sirènes de Bagdad» is the novel by Yasmina Khadra, published by Pocket in paperback format (317 pages, in French).
The action takes place in Kafr Karam, a village in the Iraqi desert that watches on television the war started by the West. The conflict eventually reaches that land, where faith, tradition and honour truly weigh: a humiliation against a Bedouin's most sacred values unleashes a time of wrath and an implacable revenge.
Originally published by Julliard in 2006, the novel closes Yasmina Khadra's trilogy «La trilogie du malentendu», after «Les Hirondelles de Kaboul» and «L'attentat».
It is aimed at readers of contemporary fiction and novels about war and the Middle East.
Mohammed Moulessehoul, better known by the pen name Yasmina Khadra, is an Algerian author living in France, who writes in French. One of the most famous Algerian novelists in the world, he has written almost 40 novels, and has published in more than 50 countries. Khadra has often explored Algerian and other Arab countries' civil wars, depicting Muslim conflicts and reality, the attraction of radical Islamism to those alienated by the incompetence and hypocrisy of politicians, and conflicts between East and West. In his several writings on the Algerian war, he has exposed the regime and the fundamentalist opposition as the joint guilty parties in the country's tragedy.
