Book Description

In a remote and dusty corner of the world, forgotten for nearly three thousand years, lived an ancient community of Kurdish Jews so isolated that they still spoke Aramaic-the language of Jesus. My Father's Paradise is Ariel Sabar's quest to reconcile present and past. Ariel brings to life the ancient town of Zakho, telling his family's story and discovering his own role in this sweeping saga.
