The Zanzibar Wife
Oman. The ancient land of frankincense, wind-swept deserts, craggy mountaintops and turquoise seas. Into this magical nation come three remarkable women, each facing a crossroad in her life. Rachel, an American war photographer, who is struggling to shed the trauma of her career. Now she is headed to Oman to cover quite a different story – for a glossy travel magazine. Ariana Khan, a bubbly English woman who has rashly volunteered as Rachel`s `fixer`, a job she`s never heard of in a country she knows nothing about. And Miza, a young woman living far from her beloved homeland of Zanzibar. As the second wife of Tariq, she remains a secret from his terrifying `other` wife, Maryam. Until the day that Tariq fails to come home…As the three women journey together across this extraordinary land, they quickly learn that, in Oman, things aren`t always what they appear to be…The Zanzibar Wife is a bewitching story of clashing cultures and conflicting beliefs, of secrets and revelations, of mystery and magic, by the author of the beloved international bestseller The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul.`As if Maeve Binchy had written `The Kite Runner` – Kirkus Reviews
