A novel of Dubai, The Sand Fish by Maha Gargash offers readers a
fascinating glimpse into another corner of the world. Set in the 1950s
in what is now the United Arab Emirates, The Sand Fish tells the
poignant and powerful story of a rebellious young woman trapped in a
repressive society--as richly atmospheric a look at Middle Eastern life
and culture as The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Alaa Al Aswany's
The Yacoubian Building.
