Nine Parts of Desire - July 2003

Nine Parts of Desire - the Hidden World of Islamic Women by Geraldine Brooks
Chosen by: Jessica P.
Location: The Melting Pot in Minneapolis

We met at this fondue restaurant and it was very yummy! Jennifer, Jessica P., and Shelley were there. A smaller group tonight. Oh, and Carolyn is pregnant!!! Due in January...congrats Carolyn!

This book is something every free woman should read to understand just how lucky we are and how much freedom means. Islamic women live so differently it's hard to understand, but reading this book does help give a little insight. The author spent 6 years covering the middle east through wars, upheaval and destruction and this book describes her journey in discovering the ways of the women behind the veils.
