In the Kingdom of Men by Kim Barnes
When Gin McPhees husband Mason takes a job at the Arabian American Oil Company in Saudi Arabia, it unlocks a glamorous new lifestyle far from their humble beginnings in Oklahoma.
Barnes animates a magnetizing cast of cosmopolitan characters.. A veritable Mad Men of the desert, with the depth of a Graham Greene novel. * Booklist *
A close inspection of how radically a life can be rescaled, and how quickly. With a protagonist like this, Barnes could have set her novel in a single room, and we'd keep reading. * Boston Globe *
Drawn with skill and filled with evocative period detail ... [Gin] plumbs the depths of her new world with heart and courage. * Seattle Times *
A real page-turner that’s also beautifully written and researched. * Saga *
With courage and zest, Kim Barnes's novel takes an intimate look at ... the rarified and harshly beautiful world of eastern Saudi Arabia ... Within these lyrical pages is a story well worth investigating. * San Francisco Chronicle *
