SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR ARABIC FICTION

An intimate and remarkably human novel of modern Iraq

Displaced by the sectarian violence in the city, Maha and her husband are taken in by a distant cousin, Youssef. As the growing turmoil around them seeps into their household, a rare argument breaks out between the elderly Youssef and his young guest. Born into sanctions and war, Maha knows nothing of Iraq's good years that Youssef holds dear.


Set over a single day, The Baghdad Eucharist is an intimate story of love, memory, and anguish in one Christian family.
