Al-Rashid dives into the actual historical records left by the peoples who lived, loved, and died in the valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, providing us with delightful snaphots of daily life circa 1900 BCE. Folks had collicky babies, needed recipes for beer, and wanted to exorcise ghosts. Preschoolers had terrible handwriting. There was inequality among social classes. Moms were juggling too many things with too few hands. Life was, well, life. Recommended.
