Into the Wadi

More about the book

Whatever happens to me here, my understanding of it will be incomplete. Jokes, stories, events, decisions - like so many things in this part of the world - remain open-ended, intertwined like the encircled and encircling chambers of the thousand and one tales ... Into the Wadiis the compelling and intensely personal story of an Australian woman and the Jordanian family into which she marries. In a deeply engaging style - sensuous, accessible and thoughtful - Michele Drouart writes about marriage, female friendship, and the preciousness of culture and community.
