In 1974 Carmen Bin Laden, half-Swiss and half-Persian, married into the Osama Bin Laden family. She was young and in love, an independent European woman about to join a complex clan and a Saudi Arabian culture she neither knew nor understood. Through her candid memoir, she dares to pull off the veils that conceal one of the most powerful, secretive, and repressive countries in the world-and the Bin Laden family's role within it.
