In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom by Qanta Ahmed
3.0
The writing is not polished and it is written more like a journal - jumping from topic to topic - than a novel, but the subject matter is fascinating.
The author is rather opinionated, which does color some of her observations and not necessarily in a derogatory way, but you definitely get a sense of who she is and what she believes in through her observations of others.
The descriptions - of which there are many - can be tedious. I understand that she is trying to create a very clear picture of her subjects and surroundings, but as a reader you sometimes wish she'd stop looking around so much and talk more about her relationships with her subjects.
