En El Uadi (English, Spanish, Paperback)

The culture shock between the Anglo-Saxon world and the Muslim world is examined in this first-person account of a young Australian woman who accompanies her husband back to his village in a valley in Jordan. This autobiography--which also functions as a novel, poetic prose, and travel literature--is a sensitive exploration of family, expatriation, affiliation, and the complexities of human relationships. The author tells of her experiences without falling into the trap of denigration, stereotypes, idealization, or exotic Orientalism.
