Married to a Bedouin by Marguerite van Geldermalsen

Used. Paperback. When a casual 1978 Middle Eastern holiday detour lands a New Zealand nurse in a 2,000-year-old Petra cave, she trades sterile hospital corridors for baking bread over open fires with a charismatic Bedouin souvenir-seller. Marguerite van Geldermalsen’s memoir brilliantly bridges two vastly different worlds, offering a charmingly guileless window into ancestral traditions that have since vanished into the modern desert wind. It is an adventurous, cross-cultural romance that proves sometimes the most captivating journeys begin with a stranger's bold invitation.
