A review by kathrinredecsy
Married to a Bedouin by Marguerite Van Geldermalsen

3.0

I had the great pleasure of meeting Marguerite at the Emirates Festival of Literature in Dubai earlier this year and read her book in preparation for her session. The story about her life was interesting and unique, but found that the book lacked emotions. Being from Europe and married to an Arab myself, I would have loved to find out more about her feelings, as well as about how she raised their kids, and even her every-day struggles as she came from a totally different background.
I admire Marguerite for her strong love, that really conquered all, in the end leaving behind her modern life to live in the caves of Petra with the man who captured her heart.
