In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom by Qanta Ahmed

3.0

I love learning about a completely different culture and country. She describes in great detail, the day to day, the rules and laws. It really helped my understanding of Saudi Arabia and the Muslim culture. My only problem with this book was that her writing was incredibly descriptive. There is such a thing as being overly descriptive. While I appreciate what she was trying to do, it was a little much. I had to skip over paragraphs because it was too descriptive. Her experience was incredible, I was particularly intrigued when I read the 9/11 chapter and her experience being in Saudi Arabia during that time. Was a good book, just took a while for me to get through it.
