About this listen

The decisions that change your life are often the most impulsive ones. Unexpectedly denied a visa to remain in the United States, Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, becomes an outcast in motion. On a whim, she accepts an exciting position in Saudi Arabia. This is not just a new job; this is a chance at adventure in an exotic land she thinks she understands, a place she hopes she will belong. What she discovers is vastly different.

The Kingdom is a world apart, a land of unparalleled contrast. She finds rejection and scorn in the places she believed would most embrace her, but also humor, honesty, loyalty, and love. And for Qanta, more than anything, it is a land of opportunity. It is a place where she discovers what it takes for one woman to recreate herself in the land of invisible women.

Illuminating

Gave me a much greater understanding of modern Saudi Arabia, its people and the roles of religion, prosperity and culture. The first person honest experience of the author was well done and very engaging.

The perspective and experience of women was particularly interesting.

Good for family listening if children are a few years beyond the 'birds and the bees'. There is one crude profanity used about 2/3 into Chapter 26 (Audible/audiobook Chapter 27 at time mark 17:43) when Quanta's friend Amanda talks about her elicit affair with a young colleague. You may want to skip those brief few seconds if listen with others.
