A White Land is packed with character and incident, opening in 1955 when Anwar, an Iraqi veteran of the Second World War, spots a German doctor in a local hospital. Can it be the same Dr. Stein who treated Anwar during the war?

Een raamvertelling over de dief Anwar. Het enige dat hij altijd al gewild heeft, is ergens bij horen. Dit leidt hem voor tijdens en na WO II van het Midden-Oosten naar Europa, naar het Oostfront en uiteindelijk weer naar Bagdad.
Het allermooiste aan dit verhaal vind ik de kleinere verhalen die zich binnen het raamwerk afspelen. Je kijkt even een poosje mee in het leven en de gevoelens van de mensen die Anwar tegenkomt. Enige mindere is dat de hoofdpersoon vrij ruggengraatloos is. Dit gaat op een gegeven moment irriteren.Je wilt hem dan wel door elkaar schudden en dwingen een eigen mening en een eigen moraal te kweken. ( )
