In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor's Journey in the Saudi Kingdom by Qanta Ahmed
4.0
I honestly cannot believe the shallowness of the 1-2 stars reviews about the quality of the writing.
This is a book written by a person who does not write professionally as a living but is an accomplished physician and has had her education focused towards that. But the importance of WHAT she is describing as opposed to HOW she is describing it, is enormous.
I agree that some of the stories are a bit repetitive especially in the latter chapters, but again just the first hand delivery of experiences in such a private and closed kingdom is invaluable.
I am a great admirer of Dr Ahmed and would recommend this book warmly!
