I would never have chosen this book but it was lent to me by a lawyer friend who lives near a privately owned bookshop. Lucky! Although a thriller in a way the subject is immaterial; it's much more about the attitudes and insights of three very different characters into the life and beliefs of people in Saudi Arabia. Fascinating! I learnt and understood a lot more than I had ever done, and was completely absorbed in the story.
