Historical novel set in the world of Saudi women. Complete at 115,000 words.
Fawziyyah, whose name means Victorious in Arabic, 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 unlikely 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, the novel celebrates the power of women sharing their personal struggles, and explores the Kingdom’s modern history from the rarely heard women’s point of view.
