A beautifully written series of vignettes about village life in #saudiarabia. This is back when the villagers didn‘t trust schools, plumbed toilets or women wearing trousers.
That‘s trivialising this book rather - the women come out of it as strong, essentially managing the men and running the village. This is a coming-of-age story where going to school in the city challenges the author‘s culture and changes his life. ⬇️
