"... I have tried to talk to him but he will not listen and he sometimes turns on me. But I will survive with the help of Allah. Please do not send anything as his pride would be hurt and he would take it out on me.”
“Infidel: Kafir” by Bernard MacDonald is a powerful cross-cultural love story set against the chaos of post-invasion Iraq. The novel follows Atiyah, a Kurdish Muslim woman turned ICU nurse in California, and David, a Jewish American military officer whose paths collide in Baghdad during the rebuilding efforts after the war.
What happens when love grows in a place where it’s not supposed to exist? “Infidel: Kafir” by Bernard MacDonald asks that question boldly, placing readers in post-war Iraq where danger, belief, and longing collide. This isn’t a safe or predictable story—it’s one that leans into discomfort and shows how powerful human connection can be, even in the most hostile environments.
This novel will especially resonate with readers who enjoy emotionally rich fiction, international settings, and stories that explore identity and belief. It’s a strong match for anyone interested in cross-cultural relationships, political realism, or character-driven storytelling. If you’re drawn to books that challenge black-and-white thinking and explore the gray areas of human experience, this one clearly has you in mind.
One of the strongest messages in the story reflects something many people face in real life: labels can be dangerous. The characters are judged not by who they are, but by what they represent—religion, nationality, ideology. Just like in everyday life, assumptions fuel fear, and fear fuels division. The book quietly reminds us that when we stop seeing individuals and only see categories, everyone loses.
By the final chapters, “Infidel: Kafir” leaves readers thinking about love, loyalty, and the cost of hatred long after the book is closed. It’s not just a romance or a war story—it’s a reminder that connection is possible even in the most hostile environments. If you’re looking for a bold, thought-provoking novel that blends heart, history, and humanity, this book is absolutely worth adding to your reading list.
