Hello, American Lady Creature
Hello, American Lady Creature | Lisa L. Kirchner
2 posts | 1 read
"Lisa Kirchner was 35 when she married the man of her dreams. They moved to Qatar for one last adventure before starting a family, but things quickly derailed. Her job brought unanticipated challenges. Then she learned she'd never have children. At least they had each other... If only the story ended there. With powerful and frank insight, the author describes what it was like to lose everything in a land that was utterly foreign. At the heart of this narrative is a magical place and time in history--Qatar at the turn of the 21st century--that shaped her own radical transformation. It's the author's first book."--

Ugh, no, not for me! What did the author learn as a woman in #Qatar? Not a lot. Certainly not the difference between your and you‘re, or how to string a coherent sentence together without inserting numerous exclamation marks.

And she didn‘t learn how to respect other cultures either. What the heck does she mean by Ramadan being a ‘ramming‘? People ramming food into their mouths is all I could think of but... 🤷‍♀️

Oryx Oh dear. Bad in so many ways. 3y
squirrelbrain Ha @Megabooks - I carefully removed all of the ! from my post, as I do use them a lot but not as excessively as this book (!) 🤣 3y
BarbaraBB Great review! You have not been very lucky with some of your books for this challenge! 3y
squirrelbrain True @BarbaraBB - or maybe I‘m getting better at saying what I really think! 🤔 3y
DGRachel Oh. Oh, no. That‘s just...no. So disrespectful. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 3y

squirrelbrain I can send it to you if you like @rockpools ?! 🤣I‘m surprised it‘s not in the bin already actually! 3y
rockpools @squirrelbrain That‘s very generous of you, but I had an enjoyably swashbuckling time hanging out in Qatar with a bunch of pirates. I‘m going to quit while I‘m ahead on that one! 3y
squirrelbrain I wish that I‘d have read your one instead @rockpools ! 3y

Today‘s #bookmail, for #readingasia2021 #qatar

I put a used copy of this in my Amazon basket a while ago, but when I went back to buy it, it had shot up in price to nearly (c8.

I had a look yesterday to see if there were any more copies; this is a new copy and was Q9.73 with free Prime delivery. ?‍♀️

Not sure how good it will be, but for that price it doesn‘t really matter?

Librarybelle Good price for it! 3y
TrishB Nearly as good as a 99p offer 😁 3y
SkeletonKey Hah, let us know how it is. My mom lived in Qatar for a few years and my visits were always... unique. 3y
squirrelbrain Ooh interesting @SkeletonKey - I‘ll let you know how I get on! 3y
BarbaraBB So you ordered it yesterday and received it today? Impressive! 3y
