America promises the Kurds
fiction
edward w pritchard
Her Father who was an educated man told his green eyed daughter that the American was a great writer who was a friend to the need for a Kurdish homeland. Although the man was 57 and the daughter only 18 she married the American writer.
Ten years later the Kurds wait for the establishment of their homeland. Meanwhile the daughter has become fat, lost her beauty, and will no longer cook or clean for her American husband.
The husband spends his days and evenings at the hookahs here in Northern Iraq, rolling dice and talks and talks. The husband no longer thinks of the Kurdish homeland issue and seldom writes of anything anymore.
The girl feels she was mislead by the American.
