I believe this book will be of interest to anyone travelling to the Middle East, anyone in a cross- cultural relationship, or to anyone interested in broadening their perspective of different countries, customs and cultures. I read it until the part they got married and started their family life having to learn how to make bread and get water, I then skimmed reading until the end. I admire her curiosity and spirit of adventure as well as her courage and resilience. Although I can appreciate how special it was living in a such a wondrous place and gain an insider's insight into the lives of the local people, I think it was also incredibly hard and I wish she had explored the deeper layers. ( ) A fascinating account of a New Zealand woman meeting and marrying a Bedoin man who lived in Petra in Jordan. The book is about their family, their life and the lives of those around them. I learnt so much from this book and found it interesting. I now know about farrsha, thick mattresses that are piled up during the day and how caves and tents are organised by Bedoin. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Where you staying?" the Bedouin asked. "Why you not stay with me tonight-in my cave?" Thus, begins Marguerite van Geldermalsen's story of how a New Zealand-born nurse came to be married to Mohammad Abdallah Othman, a Bedouin souvenir-seller from the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. It was 1978 and she and a friend were travelling through the Middle East when Marguerite met the charismatic Mohammad who convinced her that he was the man for her. A life with Mohammad meant moving into his ancient cave and learning to love the regular tasks of baking shrak bread on an open fire and collecting water from the spring. And as Marguerite feels herself becoming part of the Bedouin community, she is thankful for the twist in fate that has led her to this contented life. Marguerite's light-hearted and guileless observations of the people she comes to love are as heart-warming as they are valuable, charting Bedouin traditions now lost to the modern world.
