SELECTED BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND DAUNTS BOOKS AS A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023WINNER OF THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024ONE OF PROSPECT'S POLITICS & REPORTAGE BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2023'Exquisite . . . A genuine, melancholy masterpiece' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'A journalistic marvel' JAMES MEEK'A powerful, unforgettable book' NADIFA MOHAMMEDFrom Orwell Prize winning journalist Ghaith Abdul-Ahad comes a searing and nuanced biography of a lost IraqThis is the story of a people who once lived under the rule of a megalomaniac leader who shaped the state in his own image. Then one day, after yet another war, a foreign army invaded, toppled the leader, destroyed the state, and proceeded to invent a new country. This is the story of a people who watched with horror as their world fragmented into a hundred different cities, as walls rose between them and bodies piled in the streets.

From the American invasion to the Arab Spring, ISIS and beyond, A Stranger in Your Own City offers a remarkable de-centring of the West in the history and contemporary situation of the region. What comes to the fore is the effect on the ground: the human cost, the shifting allegiances, the generational change.

'Shatters western assumptions . . . and offers cautious hope' The Observer'Haunting' Financial Times

toe strap is tewww tight
Size: 8, Color: Black
I love the look of these heels, they’re super classy, elegant, simple, and most importantly I chose these because of the small platform at the base of the heel for a less painful experience. The onlyyyyyy issue I have is that the toe strap is so close to the front and tight (as you can see)!! I got the correct size but wish I didn’t have to stretch them out (which is almost impossible because that leather is stiff). The shoe is not very bendable but I personally like it because the shoe is sturdy.

Poor Quality for the Cost !!! Dissatisfied
Disappointed Durability. I love these heels they are very comfortable looks good with just about any color outfit . However, my heart ripped in pieces after 3 months with limited wear they began to lift and fall apart . I’m very dissatisfied with the cost & poor quality slippers I received. I wish I could actually returned it but couldn’t due to the 30 days return policy.

Steve Madden must have
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
You can’t go wrong with any Steve Madden shoe to be honest. These are sexy yet sturdy. Nice thin versatile heel. Strap length is good for any size ankle really

Comfortable
Size: 8, Color: Natural Snake
These shoes are cute, and go with most everything. They are comfortable and can be work for while without having any issues. I was a bit worried they might rub blisters but have not had that problem with these. The heel and fit of them are perfect. And they are versatile. Worth the price.

Small toe box BUT SOO cute
Size: 8.5, Color: Natural Snake
Very cute but if you have wide toes and typically require a wider toe box you’ll end up with blisters if you walk a lot in them.
