In what some critics described as a temporal continuation of Al-Rawi's debut novel, in Over The Jumhuriya Bridge (2020) the reader follows scenes from the US led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and events immediately leading up to them, affecting not one but three generations at once: grandparents, parents and children, and how one site, The Jumhuriya Bridge (The Republican Bridge) in the capital city of Baghdad, played a major role in the lives of one family representing the typical middle class Iraqi family.
