A Veiled Journey by Nell Brien was a fascinating journey into life of Islamic women in Saudia Arabia. Although the main character is an American doctor, her time in the Middle East and her relationships with the Arab people are limited by her gender. She is remarkably free compared to the women citizens she meets of the country. She is often shocked and stunned by her experiences. A wonderful book, well written and fair in its representation of a sometimes unfathomable culture abroad.
