"With courage and zest, In the Kingdom of Men takes an intimate look at ... the rarified and harshly beautiful world of eastern Saudi Arabia." --San Francisco Chronicle
"A mesmerizing novel, set in the American heartland and Saudi Arabia--two locations that on the face of it couldn't be more different. But from the point of view of a woman not allowed to be herself, the two places have startling similarities." --Elizabeth Berg, author of Once Upon a Time, There Was You "Kim Barnes has created a heroine for the ages in Gin McPhee." --More "Richly wrought. . . . With a protagonist like this, Barnes could have set her novel in a single room, and we'd keep reading." --The Boston Globe "If you want to understand, right in your gut, the history of the American relationship with Saudi Arabia; if you want a magical, layered story of west-inside-east, culture layered over culture, and the slow--still ongoing--revolution of gender and race oppression, In the Kingdom of Men is your book. It's Mad Men meets The Sheltering Sky, a Revolutionary Road for the oil-addicted. It's also an utter pleasure to read." --Anthony Doerr, author of Memory Wall "Unfurled like a rich carpet, rolling out over a vast space before it gently settles and fills every corner. Barnes . . . gets more motion and feeling into a deceptively plain paragraph than many novelists can cram into a chapter. . . . The women who populate this novel are all heroic in their various ways, a wonderful juxtaposition alongside this man's world build by oil money." --The Seattle Times "Something more than a novel about an [Oklahoman] who causes trouble in a foreign land. It's that, and a feminist bildungsroman." --The New York Times Book Review"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
