Zoë Ferraris |
|
ZOË FERRARIS won the LA
Times Book Award for First Fiction in 2008 for her compelling debut
novel, Finding Nouf. Against the exotic backdrop of Saudi
Arabia, her 2010 release, City of Veils, once again
brilliantly weaves together gender bias in conservative Islam, the
anonymity of women, and murder. Inspired by a year in Jeddah, Ferraris
respectfully contrasts the concepts of Muslim virtue and religious
commitment with the impulses of human nature.
