Oh.My.Gawd. Terrible! I would not recommend this torture for anyone! One thing the book does do well is portray the author's personality as overly judgmental and even hypocritical. So many statements made about people, their thoughts, lifestyles, etc are mere presumptions. She also finds a way to over exaggerate the simplest of things and frustratingly over describes almost every person she comes across right down to their teeth and nails!! Her experiences of Saudi Arabian people and society were interesting but the crappy writing made this one a BADREAD!!
This memoir of a British/Pakistani female doctor who spends two years working in Saudi Arabia was an interesting look at life in a bizarre culture, horribly restrictive to woman and even unkind to the men who live in its grip. I felt that the author could have been more concise in talking of her personal social relationships. But this was a revealing look at how a Western Muslim woman found a way to exist (thankfully temporarily) in a extremely fundamentalist world.
while this book dragged at times, I really enjoyed the insight to the culture.
very interesting look @ Saudi Arabia. Most especially her story of the Hajj.
Hmmmm......
