housing in Kurdistan

[Nikki]

I am an author and part of my novel is set in Kurdistan. I need some information on housing in Sulymainia. Where would my character find cheap apartments. Also, need information about bombings during the most recent war. Are there many children who have been disfigured by the bombings?

Hi Welcome to Roj Bash Kurdistan
I been in Slemani a few times, they have two Major neighbourhood one of them is richer and the other one is not . so probably your character in the novel would go to the second one, I am sure other members can tell you the exact name .

btw is your novel in english?

[Nikki]

Yes, my novels are in English. The one I am writing will be released next year. I need to connect to someone who knows Kurdistan well who can help me with details of the setting. I also want to know if Kurdistan was bombed during the recent Iraq war when the Americans invaded and during the insurgency. Anybody reading this that knows please respond.

You really need to go there if you want to get accurate descriptions and make a genuine noval . writing a novel based on the word of mouth or a description is almost impossible . You are the second person this year who made such request and I have advised members not to make any direct contact with anyone unless they can prove who they are for safety reasons .

do you have any published work ? if not I will advice you to use Google image using strings to specify what you want to see .

I understand completely. This is my 6th novel. I have won many national awards. You can go to Amazon.com and type my name, Nikki Arana, in as an author and you will find 37 reviews posted on my latest book. I write to build bridges between Christians and Muslims. The reviews will speak for themselves.
