Through the previously published novels, she presented a model of reality of the suffering of the Iraqi people who have painful memories connected to historical events that took place from the 1940s up to the US invasion in 2003. After the American occupation they were faced with problems such as, the Sunni-Shiite schism, ISIS atrocities, and difficulties caused by diaspora and the exile.
