Behind the Veil

Behind the Veil

£9.99
Lydia Laube set off in search of adventure, to work as a nurse in Saudi Arabia. She found herself embroiled in a society that did not allow women to drive, vote, or speak to a man alone. As soon as she stepped off the aeroplane, Lydia’s passport was confiscated. She felt like a prisoner, trapped in a country with no means of escape. Lydia showed incredible strength of character in her determination to fulfil her year-long contract. Wearing head-to-toe coverings in stifling heat, and battling against unfathomable bureaucracy, Lydia maintained her sanity and finally got her passport back.
