The Big Letdown: A Personal Tale from the Diaspora of Feyli Kurds – E-bok

The big Letdown is a self-reflecting tale of the life experiences that have shaped the character and personality of the author from his turbulent childhood in the Kurdish quarter of old Baghdad to his joyful years of independent living in the early seventies as a university student in England where he truly came of age and managed to free himself from his childhood's religious and political brainwash. The few years that he lived in Iraq after his return was filled with regret and disillusionment before he finally lost faith and decided to once and for all abandon the homeland of his ancestors in search of a new homeland that could offer him and his descendants a humane existence. The book invites the reader to ride on the authors emotional rollercoaster of hardship and joy as he searches for a new homeland and finds it in Sweden where he starts building a new life for himself and his family.
