false 337615 12 Geraldine Brooks spent two years as a Middle East news correspondent, covering the death of Khomeini and the like. She also learned a lot about what it's like for Islamic women today. Brooks' book is exceedingly well-done--she knows her Islamic lore and traces the origins of today's practices back to Mohammed's time. Personable and very readable, Brooks takes us through the women's back door entrance of the Middle East for an unusual and provocative view. 3094971 1 12 1994 Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women total:1669|5:494|4:734|3:375|2:55|1:11| 1669 6652 2694 308 337615 0385475772 9780385475778 1563 294 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255629969m/337615.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337615.Nine_Parts_of_Desire_The_Hidden_World_of_Islamic_Women 4 5 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sun Mar 25 09:13:26 -0700 2007 Sun Mar 25 09:26:11 -0700 2007 more...]]> 337615 0385475772 9780385475778 1563 294 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255629969m/337615.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337615.Nine_Parts_of_Desire_The_Hidden_World_of_Islamic_Women 5 2 false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 17:48:05 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 12:04:46 -0700 2008 Brook...more...]]> 337615 0385475772 9780385475778 1563 294 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255629969m/337615.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337615.Nine_Parts_of_Desire_The_Hidden_World_of_Islamic_Women 2 2 false Thu Dec 06 13:38:56 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 21:28:31 -0800 2007 more...]]> 337615 0385475772 9780385475778 1563 294 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255629969m/337615.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337615.Nine_Parts_of_Desire_The_Hidden_World_of_Islamic_Women 5 3 false Wed May 01 00:00:00 -0700 1996 Wed Nov 28 12:16:27 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 28 12:27:01 -0800 2007 more...]]> 337615 0385475772 9780385475778 1563 294 3.99 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255629969m/337615.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337615.Nine_Parts_of_Desire_The_Hidden_World_of_Islamic_Women 4 2 false Mon Dec 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 20:02:05 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 20:02:05 -0800 2008 March about the modern Islamic world and the man who started it all.
