Journalist Ariel Sabar was a father himself before he felt the yearning to better understand his own father's past. But connecting with his father's roots meant taking a journey to an isolated corner of northern Iraq. My Father’s Paradise is the memoir that tells the story of an unusual voyage undertaken by Sabar with his scholarly father. Monitor reviewer Chuck Leddy called this book "an engaging account of a wonderful, enlightening journey, a voyage with the power to move readers deeply even as it stretches across differences of culture, family, and memory."
