Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Muslim Cowboy by Bruce Omar Yates follows one Iraqi man inspired by old American Western Cinema on his quest to find his own Western story.

What We Say: "An Iraqi man decked out in double denim and a cowboy hat rides his trusted camel through the broken landscape of post-war Iraq. Looking for his own hero story, following unspecified and no doubt unbearable trauma, he meets a young girl who needs his help to survive. Cinematic in style and with deceptively simple prose, this story of friendship, survival and sacrifice will stay with you long after the final page" - Maria Padget

What They Say: “A real adventure of morality and belief. It also makes a statement about us, the audience, as we are given a cinematic rendition of otherwise unimaginable conflict and loss” - Rose Cleary
