Father's Paradise Lost
About This Novel
"Father's Paradise Lost" is a true legend of a Kurdish Jewish family spanning six decades and spanning four generations in Iraq, Israel and the United States. Author Ariel Sabar is a typical California boy whose conflict with his staid Jewish father is a miniature version of the Clash of Civilizations, ancient Kurdistan versus 1980s Los Angeles. With the question of "who am I", Sabal embarked on a journey to find his hometown, returning to the mysterious cradle of ancient civilization and a sensitive area that is currently receiving much attention - the historical Kurdistan region, now located in the Zahu region in northern Iraq. Here, a group of Kurdish Jews have lived in the remote foothills for nearly three thousand years, living side by side and harmoniously with Muslims and Christians in the high mountains of northern Iraq. Surrounded by mountains and isolated from the world, they have always maintained "the language closest to God"
