If you've ever studied a foreign language, you know what happens
when you first truly and clearly communicate with another person.
As Zora O'Neill recalls, you feel like a magician. If that foreign
language is Arabic, you just might feel like a wizard. They say
that Arabic takes seven years to learn and a lifetime to master.
O'Neill had put in her time. Steeped in grammar tomes and out-dated
textbooks, she faced an increasing certainty that she was not only
failing to master Arabic, but also driving herself crazy. She took
a decade-long hiatus, but couldn't shake her fascination with the
language or the cultures it had opened up to her. So she decided to
jump back in-this time with a new approach. Join O'Neill for a
grand tour through the Middle East. You will laugh with her in
Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the United Arab
Emirates, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in
Lebanon and Morocco. She's packed her dictionaries, her unsinkable
sense of humor, and her talent for making fast friends of
strangers. From quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets to the lively
buzz of crowded medinas, from families' homes to local hotspots,
she brings a part of the world that is thousands of miles away
right to your door. A natural storyteller with an eye for the
deeply absurd and the deeply human, Zora O'Neill explores the
indelible links between culture and communication. A powerful
testament to the dynamism of language, All Strangers Are Kin
reminds us that learning another tongue leaves you rich with so
much more than words.
