Stella Darvey Joory and Linda Dangoor join Lyn Julius for a rich conversation on heritage, exile and the worlds we carry with us. In Rachel: A Life in a Turbulent Century, Joory reconstructs her mother’s remarkable journey from Damascus to Baghdad and beyond, tracing the seismic political upheavals that reshaped Middle Eastern Jewish life. Dangoor’s From the Tigris to the Thames blends memoir and cookbook, charting her own path from Baghdad to London through the flavours and memories of a vanished world. Together, these authors explore identity, displacement and the enduring threads of culture that bind generations.
