Product Description
Review
'For anyone who enjoys travel books, especially about the Middle East, this is the read thing - a fascinating account of life as a Bedouin in the late twentieth century written by a Western woman' Mary S. Lovell
Book Description
The donkey tied to the tent peg had a hard-on which was difficult to ignore. 'Hamar mabsoot,' my new brother-in-law Ibraheem said cautiously and as I realised I recognised his words (the donkey's happy), so our embarrassment dissolved with a giggle.

This review is from: Married to a Bedouin (Paperback)
I have just visited Petra and met some of the delightful people of the bedouin tribe and our guide recommended this book. It is a thrilling, romantic tale set amongst the stunning scenery of Petra. The story is all the more remarkable because it is a true tale. Marguerite gives a fascinating insight into day to day life of the bedouin and vividly describes the remarkable surroundings. I finished the book a few days ago and was so enraptured by Marguerite that I am still wondering what happened next. Please write an up to date epilogue!

Factual......,

This review is from: Married to a Bedouin (Paperback)
I bought this book at Amman airport on the way back from Jordan (including Petra); It was good to be able to identify with specific locations, it made the book seem more 'real' than it may have otherwise done. I think Marguerite tells an OK story but to me this book is written by a traveller (for want of a better word) 'telling her story' and not by a 'story teller'. Throughout it is just a little too factual to make one feel any emotion towards either the author or any of the bedouin.Very, very interesting as a kind of travel diary but, in my opinion) not a story that is full of feeling.
