Books: Exotically written by Arabic women

How to feel when reading a book you love

A charming melody sways harmoniously within the space that is gently sheltering me from the world outside.

The smell of sweet musk hovers mysteriously within my reach.

Rain Comment on the Book:

The way the book is written is very gripping. It is interesting to see the mix of New York with Jordan, the way things are so different between these two cultures and what is allowed and what is not. Sohair Khashoggi is very talented in her portrayal of both cultures especially that she has lived between these two cultures. It is a nice suspense book filled with anticipation.

Rain Comment on the Book:

Another mouth watering novel, different than the book Cresent. Some parts were a little slow but the whole book was an interesting insight into a world other than the states. A portrayal of Iranian culture with Irish culture.
