Certainly an interesting read. The first quarter-ish of the book is a bit rough as the author outlines her initial biases against living and working in Saudi Arabia. However, it does seem to do a decent job of showing a wide variety of people's beliefs and lives, plus the author's views do evolve over the course of the book. I don't think the author can fully escape her Western bias, but I do think she gave a reasonably fair depiction of the circumstances she was working in.
Graphic: Sexism
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Antisemitism
