A CARAVAN OF BRIDES, a novel set in the world of Saudi women.
Fawzia returns home to Jeddah after attending college in Lebanon and begins secretly dating her forbidden college sweetheart. When her reckless behavior leads to her devout older sister’s death, she finds the courage to face her future in the adventurous life story of a mysterious old Bedouin woman, the last professional storyteller in Jeddah. Set during the late 1970’s and the close of World War I, A CARAVAN OF BRIDES celebrates the power of women sharing their personal struggles as it explores Saudi Arabia's modern history from the rarely heard women’s point of view. The novel is complete at 114,000 words. |
