Decisions that change your entire life are often the most impulsive.
When Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, is denied a visa to stay in the United States, she becomes an outcast on the road. Based on the offer she had unexpectedly received, she decided to accept a job in Saudi Arabia. She was offered not only a new job, but also a chance to live an adventure in an exotic country, which she believed would fit in well as a Muslim and easily understand life there.
However, the reality was completely different. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a closed, special world, a land of unimaginable contrasts. Here, the author encountered rejection and contempt in places where she expected a friendly reception, but she also found humor, sincerity, devotion and love.
For Qanta Ahmed, Saudi Arabia is above all a country of new possibilities. Here she discovered what it means to be reborn internally and find a new self in the land of invisible women.
