It is also the story of Nayir, a Palestinian man who is so in tune with the desert that everyone assumes he’s Bedouin. Soon I was and I’m so glad I did.įinding Nouf is the story of Nouf, a young girl from a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia who has run away from her family compound in Jeddah in the days leading up to her wedding. Finding Nouf sat on my to-read shelf for only a month or so and even then I picked it up a couple of times every week to see if I was ready to read it. She’d wrapped it up like a gift and put it in with the other books for selection that night, and my luck was to pick this book from the pile and to keep it despite several rounds of white elephant style takebacksies. But someone in that group of fabulously well-traveled and intelligent ladies had read this book and wanted to share it. If it wasn’t for the semi-annual book swap I attend, I never would have read Finding Nouf by Zoë Ferraris.
