I just thought we were supposed to get some insights into the uneven emotions and recollections of Rosie. I agree that the characters' feelings about Saudi culture were hard to understand. I guess without Abdullah she realized her own culture had value.Col (Col Reads)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03136923310179832040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714488622419505745.post-63153873849921779672012-01-29T10:07:05.292-06:002012-01-29T10:07:05.292-06:00Thanks for the giveaway.
