Samenvatting
Fawzia returns home to Jeddah in 1978, after attending college in Lebanon, and takes up secretly with her forbidden college sweetheart. When her reckless behavior leads to family tragedy, she is drawn to an unlikely friendship with a mysterious old storyteller, the niece of a legendary Bedouin chief.
Narrated by Fawzia and the storyteller Salma, A CARAVAN OF BRIDES celebrates the dangerous melody that love sings in each generation, as it brings the world of Saudi women, past and present, into focus with a tender touch. The story crosses Arabia, from the ancient cities of Jeddah and Mecca, to a peaceful mountain valley, forbidding northern deserts, and a storied oasis town once known for tolerance and open-mindedness.
