Synopsis

Set in Baghdad in the 1960s, When the Grey Beetles Took Over Baghdad is an ambitious novel in which fear and oppression co-exist with the smells and tastes of the Middle East. Superstition and social niceties live side by side with public hangings and disappearances. Private and political tensions fuse - the rise of the Ba'ath party and its regime of terror coincide with the protagonist Lina's adolescence. After years of inaction and secrecy her family's departure at the end proves perilous.
