FORBIDDEN LOVE IN THE LAND OF SHEBA

This novel, my third, received a terrific review from "Rose Girl", a Yemeni woman who would clearly know a lot about what the novel describes, especially about how women are treated in Yemen, the "Land of Sheba".
You will find it on the Face Book Page: NOVELS ABOUT YEMEN.
I think it would be cool if I could persuade Rise Girl to post it here on Good Reads too. I'll try to do that.
