Author Revital Horowitz’s memoiristic novel Daughter of Iraq relates the stories of several generations of Iraqi Jewish women who immigrate to Israel. The saga describes life in Iraq in both nostalgic and critical terms. In this excerpt, the family matriarch challenges her son, a leader of the Haganah, a Jewish self-defense force organized in Iraq after anti-Jewish riots left hundreds dead and injured there in 1941. Horowitz’s heartfelt tale of immigration told from the point-of-view of women now joins the more familiar works written by male Iraqi Jewish writers, a list that includes Eli Amir, Shimon Ballas, Sami Michael, Ronny Someck, and Sasson Somekh.
