“This is a remarkable book by a talented journalist which seeks to find the truth behind the stereotype of the free-spending, oil-rich Arab, off-loading his petrodollars in London. Because the oil sheikhs come from Muslim countries, most Westerners are shut out of their homes and family life, but Linda Blandford has penetrated the barriers and tells the real story in personal and human terms of life in the walled gardens of present-day Arab society.”
