Welcome to Litsy!

Look what arrived today, @squirrelbrain !

This book has been on my radar every since @BookishTrish first posted about it. And your Litsy Book Mail stickers!!! I‘ve been coveting them for ages!! 😆

Thanks so much, my friend. What a happy mail day! 💖💖

I wasn‘t sure of this at first as it started with the author falling in love with a Bedouin and I thought the whole book would be a bit ‘me, me me‘.

However, this soon turns into a study of the ‘ordinary‘ Jordanian people, which is just the kind of travel book that I prefer. The relationship between Annie and Rathwan actually serves to reflect the other people that they meet, particularly his family and friends.

Congratulations on your milestone @ErinSueG #5kgiveaway I have several favourite books, the tagged book is an undiscovered gem of a travel memoir. I reread it often. ❤️❤️❤️

I know it's like choosing a favourite child, but whenever the topic of my all-time favourite book comes up so does this book. It blends insight into Jordanian history and culture with a very personal love story between two very different yet very similar people. I'm always in tears when I turn the last page. Simply beautiful. Also, while reading it this time, I found out the author has passed away. I wish I'd have written to her and told her

These are a few of my favourite things #24in48

I love this book so much. This is my third copy. It's a real life love story between a British writer and a Jordanian Bedouin.

#funFriday this is one of my all time favs. I retread it every few years (I read it cover to cover when I was in labour with my youngest). Annie is a British journalist who falls for a Jordanian Bedouin in this bittersweet love story.
