Helpful Score: 2

Working in medicine, I was excited to read about a US trained physicians experiences working in Saudi Arabia. The fact that the physician in question is a woman and a Muslim made me move this book to the top of the tbr pile. The book focuses less on medicine and more on the role of women in The Kingdom. While interesting at times, overall the book was loooong, and the dialogue stilted and artificial. I found myself struggling to push on to the conclusion. For me there were some worthwhile insights about the Arab culture, especially for an expat woman, but overall it was just too boring to give more than two stars.
