When Euan and Ruth set off with their young daughter to live in
Bahrain, it is meant to be an experience and adventure they will
cherish. But on the night they arrive, Ruth discovers the truth
behind the missionary work Euan has planned and feels her world
start to crumble. Far from home, and with events spiralling towards
war in nearby Iraq, she starts to question her faith - in Euan, in
their marriage and in all she has held dear. With Euan so often
away, she is confined to their guarded compound with her neighbours
and, in particular, Noor, a troubled teenager recently returned to
Bahrain to live with her father. Confronted by temptations and
doubt, each must make choices that could change all of their lives
for ever. Compelling, passionate and deeply resonant, The Meeting
Point is a novel about idealism and innocence, about the unexpected
turns life can take and the dangers and chances that await us.
