- Summary
- "Sirens of Memory centers on a Kuwaiti woman named Mariam who flees an abusive marriage prior to the Iraqi invasion once she discovers that she's pregnant. She leaves her husband Tareq for dead after the troops cross the border and is evacuated with the help of Raj, an Indian man with whom she's formed a connection. Raj lost his wife during the invasion and Mariam uses her identity so that she can be issued papers for evacuation as part of a massive Indian airlift. Twenty-five years later, Mariam and Raj have formed a real relationship and have raised her daughter Aliya together in Austin, with Mariam still living under the identity of Raj's Indian wife. After Mariam attends an event at the Kuwaiti embassy, Tareq, who is actually still alive, tracks her down in Austin."--Provided by publisher
