The book by Geraldine Brooks, Nine Parts of Desire, is a rich portrait of a little-known world that reveals the lives of Muslim women. This is the insightful, provocative, and in some cases humorous story of Geraldine Brooks' quest for truth about women and Islam.
From adopting a chador as camouflage to encounters with Queen Noor of Jordan and the daughter of Iran's former president Rafsanjani, the author and journalist went undercover and deep into the core of another culture. She met Palestinian women protesting against "punishments" related to infidelity and housed girls turned warriors by the armed forces of the Emirates.
During her stay in the Middle East, Brooks was invited into the homes and lives of these women, where she discovered true stories that overturn western stereotypes. Fair and often revealing, Nine Parts of Desire is a richly woven tapestry of the diverse lives lived by women under Islam, and an immersive and varied portrait of a little-known world. This is journalism at its best.
Geraldine Brooks is an award-winning author and journalist. She has written many fiction and non-fiction books, including the international bestseller Year of Wonders and most recently March, which won the Pulitzer Prize. She lives in rural Virginia.
