Girls of Riyadh / Rajaa Alsanea ; translated by Rajaa Alsanea and Marilyn Booth. by Ṣāniʻ, Rajāʾ ʻAbd Allāh. New York : Penguin Press, 2007. Subjects Young women -- Saudi Arabia -- Riyadh -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781594201219 1594201218 Description:  viii, 286 p. ; 24 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  This debut novel, banned in the author's own country, reveals the social, romantic, and sexual tribulations of four young women from the elite classes of Saudi Arabia. Every week after Friday prayers, the anonymous narrator sends an email to the female subscribers of her online chat group. In fifty such emails over the course of a year, we witness the tragicomic reality of four university students negotiating their love lives, their professional success, and their rebellions, large and small, against their cultural traditions. The world these women inhabit is a modern one that contains "Sex and the City," dating, and sneaking out of their parents' houses, and all this causes the girls to collide endlessly with ancient customs. The never-ending cultural conflicts underscore the tumult of being an educated modern woman growing up in the 21st century amid a culture firmly rooted in an ancient way of life.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Sani Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Alsanea Checked In Add Copy to MyList
