Bøger af Tania Malik

Hope You Are Satisfied welcomes you to Dubai as you've never seen it before... An astute satire in the vein of The White Lotus, with a touch of espionage. Malik's cast of characters undo the 'guest worker' stereotype one tequila shot at a time, even as their world teeters on the cusp of an explosive global conflict....

"Riya works for Discover Arabia, a rinky-dink tour guide company in the far-flung desert outpost of Dubai. It's 1990, and the city's iconic skyline, along with its global reputation, remains but a gleam in developers' eyes. For twenty-five year-old Riya, Dubai is a desert purgatory that spreads out between her family back home in India, and an as-yet-defined future ahead of her. If she belongs to anything, it is to the city's transient underclass of young people from South Asia, Africa, and Europe who arrive with the ubiquitous goal of earning more than they could at home. Will a favor from Dubai's most notorious fixer get Riya back in everyone's good graces? Or will the impending possibility of an invasion by Saddam Hussein make Riya's problems (along with everyone else's) a moot point?"--Provided by publisher.
