This is the story of the experiences of Patricia Holton, an American women, after she and her family befriended a couple of young Arab men from the Al-Ain/Buraimi Oasis (which lies along the border between the United Arab Emirates and Oman). Over more than a decade her life intertwines with the lives of these young men and their family, both in the UAE and in the UK.

Patricia Holton has revealed a true glimpse of the cloistered, secret life of the traditional Saudi Arabian family. How like the rest of us they are in their love of children and family, but how different they also are in their own private ritualism and traditionalist customs that have bound them even in the 20th century.

Oumabdulaziz's Response to Joneal's Review
Written on: 01/05/2004
Please get your countries straight. This story takes place in United Arab Emirates, not Saudi Arabia and there are big difference between the two. There seems a tendency, especially in the West, to lump all Arabs together as one, but one who has spent any amount of time traveling in the Arab countries can tell you that you will find many cultural differences as you travel from place to place.
