Finding Nouf by Zoe Ferraris, a mystery story set in Saudi Arabia written by a western woman who lived there for awhile.


I was first intrigued by the setting in Saudi Arabia and then by the claustrophobic life of Saudi women. I kept thinking, could I survive in this in this culture as a woman or as a man. Both genders, from my perspective as a western woman, seem to have impossible lives.


The actual mystery story was very good and well written. I don’t want to give away the plot. I would read the next book by Ferraris.

I like it when you talk about a book and tell a little about it. I will look for Ferraris' mysteries. Patty
