Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women by Geraldine Brooks CD N64 5050582296228Nine Parts of Desire This is the story of Brooks' intrepid journey toward an understanding of the women behind the veils, and of the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape their lives.
