The Zanzibar Wife
The Zanzibar Wife | Deborah Rodriguez
5 posts | 2 read | 11 to read
Oman. The ancient land of frankincense, wind-swept deserts, craggy mountaintops and turquoise seas. Into this magical nation come three remarkable women, each facing a crossroad in her life. Rachel, an American war photographer, who is struggling to shed the trauma of her career. Now she is headed to Oman to cover quite a different story - for a glossy travel magazine. Ariana Khan, a bubbly English woman who has rashly volunteered as Rachel's 'fixer', a job she's never heard of in a country she knows nothing about. And Miza, a young woman living far from her beloved homeland of Zanzibar. As the second wife of Tariq, she remains a secret from his terrifying 'other' wife, Maryam. Until the day that Tariq fails to come home... As the three women journey together across this extraordinary land, they quickly learn that, in Oman, things aren't always what they appear to be... The Zanzibar Wife is a bewitching story of clashing cultures and conflicting beliefs, of secrets and revelations, of mystery and magic, by the author of the beloved international bestseller The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul.

Deborah Rodriguez is an amazing storyteller! Her research of and immersion into the culture she is writing about make such a huge difference in her stories. Once you started reading her books, you'll find you can't put them down! The Zanzibar Wife was absolutely fascinating and I stayed up way too late finishing it last night LOL 😅

I know I'll have a new haul next week since I have to do some swaping before my summer holiday ends. So more photos coming then! Now the real challenge... How to get them fit in my bookshelf... 🤔

It came as a pleasant surprise to me that Deborah Rodriguez has a new book. It was published last year but somehow I missed it! But now I have it in my bookshelf. I've been enjoying her work earlier and have high hopes for this one! 😊 #Bookhaul
