One aspect of the book that I found particularly interesting was that the story began in a setting in which the family are living in comfort, wealth and luxury – and then they are rapidly catapulted into a completely different world. Kiss the Dust is an incredible story of a family forced to become refugees. Now Tara truly appreciates her former life – but she will never get it back. They must flee across the border to Iran, leaving behind their home to live in grimy refuge camps. Many members of Tara’s family are pesh murgas, Kurdish fighters.

Tara leads a luxurious life in her large home in Iraq. ![]()
