A fascinating account of a young American woman's conversion to Islam and her life as a foreigner in Egypt, giving a real insight into how that country is seen by outsiders and how life is different for those living as ex-pats compared to Egyptians themselves. She meets, falls in love with and marries an Egyptian man, so sees both sides of the story. I found her insights on Islam really interesting - she converts before meeting her future husband, and as she explains it, her conversion seems inevitable, despite her agnostic upbringing. A really good read.
