An honest, funny, and moving memoir of a young woman from England transplanted into another culture by love, Between Two Rivers details the experience of vibrant 1960s Baghdad life and the city's complex social customs, pre-Saddam. When Dorothy set off on a night out with her sister, she never dreamed it would lead to a car journey to Baghdad; but that night she met a dark, mysterious stranger--an Iraqi student named Zane--and almost before she knew it they were married and driving to Baghdad in a borrowed car with their baby daughter. They moved into a house in the suburbs with Zane's family, throwing Dorothy into the maelstrom of Iraqi culture: letters could take weeks to arrive, there were no mobile phones or computers, and there was no direct dial facility to the UK--she might as well have been living on the moon.
