A wonderful collection of anecdotes, each of which can be read in a few minutes-ideal for the coffee table. This book details the day-to-day experiences of a woman in the turbulent world of the Arabian Peninsula, from the ordinary humdrum of dealing with compound living to the drama of encounters with terrorists.
Included are reflections on her many journeys from the Middle East, the hub of world travel.
