Behind The Veil: An Australian Nurse In Saudi Arabia
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A wickedly funny traveller's yarn, Behind the Veil chronicles the remarkable true-life adventures of Lydia Laube, an Australian nurse who uproots her life to work in the deeply conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With sharp wit and an outsider's keen eye, Laube presents an intimate and often hilarious account of navigating the cultural, religious, and social complexities of life behind the veil. From the stark contrasts of hospital life to the bewildering customs governing women's daily existence, she illustrates a world seldom seen through Western eyes with candour and humour. A richly entertaining memoir, it stands as both a personal adventure story and a fascinating document of cross-cultural encounter in one of the world's most closed societies.
