I have just finished "The Veiled Kingdom" by Carmen Bin Ladin. She married one of Osama's many brothers and it is her account of life in Saudi Arabia. It doesn't go on about 911 or Osama or anything like that, but it is the story of her life with her husband and how having 3 daughters made her decide she couldn't remain in Saudi Arabia. It is very interesting because although she was rasied and still is a muslim woman she is very critical of the strain of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia and I think her background gives her a really unique perspective. Not that I think that there is necessarily uniformity in Islam, as in any religion, but because often books about a women who marries into a "foreign" culture only to regret or seek to escape it later seem to be by women who come from a totally different background initially (I am thinking of the book by the Swiss (?) woman who married an Afican tribesman and underwent a huge culture shock). No where in the book does she adopt the "poor me, I was lied to about what it would be like" line, but rather it described how she was initally hopeful of change in Saudi Arabia but how, in the context of the revolution in Iran, that change proved impossible. Really very interesting and readable.
