CHICAGO: Set at the end of the Iran-Iraq war is author Hadiya Hussein’s “Waiting for the Past,” a tale that follows a woman searching for the man she loves. In an Iraq that is suffering from endless war, Narjis is stuck in a loveless marriage when she decides to leave her husband in Baghdad and look for Yusef Hassan Omran, her childhood sweetheart who has vanished.
Translated by Barbara Romaine in late 2022, this is a story about loss, community, and the pockets of hope one finds in others when they share tragic pasts.
