She tells what daily life is really like in a country coping with invasion and occupation, and how she and a hastily recruited troupe of circus performers brought clowns, laughter and some moments of respite to the children of Iraq." "As a human rights observer, Jo Wilding, a young British lawyer and solidarity activist, witnessed and recorded in her blog some of the worst atrocities committed against ordinary people. Out of the trauma grew the circus, traveling round the squatter camps, schools and orphanages, putting light and hope back into people's lives." "In simply playing with children, helping where possible and instinctively recording events, Jo Wilding provides a unique and independent perspective. Her daily accounts have an immediacy and accuracy that bring the scenes sharply into focus. From the shocking, painful stories of the siege of Falluja - where, for a day and night, she was taken prisoner - to the crowds of mesmerized children, every episode vividly describes life in occupied Iraq."--BOOK JACKET. | |
