Take What You Can Carry by Gian Sardar

 This story of an American woman who travels with her Kurdish partner to his homeland to attend a family wedding is painfully visceral. A photographer, she takes what she knows are poignant shots but she also misses other shots as she escapes dangerous incidents, and becomes immersed in observing and experiencing the daily fears and suffering of the family members she lives with on this eye-opening visit to a country beset by sectarian violence. She spends much time musing over her relationship with the man she loves and questioning their ability to remain committed given their significant cultural differences.
