One Hundred and One Nights by Benjamin Buchholz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

After 13 years in America, Abu Saheeh has returned to his native Iraq, a nation transformed by the American military presence. Alone in a new city, he has exactly what he wants: freedom from his past. Then he meets Layla, a whimsical fourteen-year-old girl who enchants him with her love of American pop culture. Enchanted by Layla's stories and her company, Abu Saheeh settles into the city's rhythm and begins rebuilding his life. But two sudden developments-his alliance with a powerful merchant and his employment of a hot-headed young assistant-reawaken painful memories, and not even Layla may be able to save Abu Saheeh from careening out of control and endangering all around them. A breathtaking tale of friendship, love, and betrayal, One Hundred and One Nightsis an unforgettable novel about the struggle for salvation and the power of family. | One Hundred and One Nights by Benjamin Buchholz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
