A Trumpet in the Wadi

Front Cover
Simon & Schuster, 2003 - Fiction - 244 pages
This title is unfailingly honest, pointedly comic and suffused with a fundamental heartache-one that speaks to the internal conflicts in the Middle East even as it celebrates the possibilities of a love that dares to cross all cultural and political boundaries.
