It was a pretty good book. And femininity and Allah did not fare
well. *Warning, spoilers* The main character disguised herself as a
man to give herself freedom while working in the imaginary country
(whose name I can't remember offhand). When she wanted to sneak out,
she veiled herself as a woman, and the extreme bruising she had
previously received from the bad guys were looked upon by the border
guards as normal wifely chastisement.
