Starting with her book "finding Nouf", Zoe Ferraris has caught my imagination and my regard. She is a wonderful writer, and each book carries a good mystery, insight into the men and women who are trying to survive and thrive in Saudi Arabia's strange and convoluted culture. This is the third in the series - it strengthened my resolve never to set foot in Saudi Arabia, while strengthening my regard for those who have the courage to live there.
