Thank God It's Wednesday: An American Family in Saudi Arabia
In 1973 Maralyn Doyle and her family arrived at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where her husband, Jack, would teach English at the College of Petroleum and Minerals for the next four years. Her letters home, sometimes hilarious and always interesting, describe a Kingdom in change, cultural misunderstandings, and unusual events, as well as encounters with zealous Saudi censors, crazed drivers, a corpse on a bus, underwear thieving gardeners, and a spike wielding Yemeni. Through her letters Maralyn provides a narrative of her family's daily life in Saudi Arabia as well as detailing the eccentricities of her fellow expatriates.
