He has lost the spirited American wife that he fell in love with, Rosalie had worked at becoming the typical Saudi wife and it is this fact that Abdullah bemoans. This is something she never thought her 'modern' husband would do. It is at this point that Rosalie is devastated to find out that Abdullah has a second wife, who is much younger and that they have been married for two years. She had always had a hankering to go back so when they married, much to the disapproval of his family, they returned and as the book opens they have been married for twenty years and have two children a boy and a girl. He is from Saudi Arabia and she while American grew up in Saudi Arabia as her father worked in the oil industry. Rosalie meets wealthy Abdullah Baylani while at college in America. I enjoy reading books that take me to another part of the world that I will never experience and the author made it so real to me. This was a book I found to be well written and engrossing and one that I was not able to put down.
