Helpful Score: 3

Very interesting perspective from a Muslim female who was from Britain and medically trained in the United States. Qanta gave intricate details as to the lifestyle of those in the Saudi Kingdom and why certain customs are followed and adhered to. Many books speaking out about women and Saudi Arabia are written from an outsider view point that accentuates the negative, but Qanta, while still arguing against the apartheid between men and women in the middle east, shows some positive views,and writes about the other side of the males that is so rarely put in written form. I found the book, although very detailed at times, to be an interesting and educational book that was hard to put down.
