Wadi al-Uyoun was an oasis amid desert land, an asylum for those who chose to cross the scalding sand dunes of Saudi Arabia in the 1930s. This historical fiction book, Cities of Salt by Abdelrahman Munif, provides a native prospective on issues that currently plague the world. This book aids Americans in their odyssey to understand cultural idiosyncrasies and customs from the Middle East. Every person who expends any amount of oil should read and ponder upon this book. Cities of Salt has a strong plot that lures readers in with characters and events that seem almost palpable. Throughout the book, readers will want to jump in to defend their favorite character’s reputation, help make peace between old friends, and mourn the unfortunate deaths of the good men who shape the village. Reading Cities of Salt would be a valuable investment of time for anyone who uses oil or is interested in current and previous international affairs. Cities of Salt is an enjoyable journey into a past time with an extraordinary civilization.
