A Heart-Wrenching Story of Egyptian Girls Living in a Muslim Family
In a society where being a woman means being silent, following established customs, and fulfilling the will of men without the right to one's own opinion or desires. Jasmine was born into such a family, and because her mother is English, she also knows what freedom and the right to decide her own life mean. However, independent behaviour is unacceptable, and Jasmine learns the hard way what it means to defy these relentless traditions.
Reviews for Dolls of Paradise
In my opinion, a very well-written book on this topic. It describes a different culture beautifully, the story flowed well, and it made me want to keep turning the pages. This is one of several books I've read by Wood, and I definitely recommend it.

I have read several books by this author, but this one is my favourite. I admire Muslim women for their obedience and humility. I could never behave like that. I recommend this book; it's an enjoyable read, and the pages turn quickly. But be warned, it is just a fictional story, albeit a believable one.

An excellent book that gives you an insight into the Arab world and its traditions, which are difficult for a modern European to comprehend.
