Sinan Antoon's 'Oh Mary' is a profoundly moving novel that delves into the lives of an Iraqi Christian family in Baghdad during the tumultuous period following the 2003 invasion. The narrative poignantly captures their struggle for survival and identity amidst escalating sectarian violence, displacement, and the crumbling social fabric of their homeland. Antoon masterfully portrays the anguish of a minority caught between faith and fear, longing for a bygone era of coexistence, while facing the harsh realities of exile and an uncertain future. This powerful work offers a crucial glimpse into the human cost of conflict and the enduring quest for belonging.
