Eight Months on Ghazzah Street, Hilary Mantel

The Reading Group will meet again on Wednesday, 26 October 2016 at the usual time of 7.30pm in Plommer A. We will be discussing Eight Months on Ghazzah Street, by Hilary Mantel.

From Amazon.co.uk:

Frances Shore is a young English bride joining her prototypical bland English engineer husband as expats living in Saudi Arabia. She's been fully warned that life for w woman in Saudi Arabia is "unpleasant", but she quickly learns that "unpleasant" is truly an understatement. The repressive and authoritarian aspects of fundamentalist Muslim society, and the cynicism it breeds among the educated middle classes within it, are on full display here.

The book is available in local libraries, and in paperback and Kindle edition from Amazon* and other booksellers.
