Description
Through the Palace Keyhole: A Memoir of Love and Resilience in the Middle East. In 1958, Ann Sawalha took her young husband to his homeland in Jordan, leaving behind everything familiar. She faced numerous challenges as she assimilated into his Bedouin tribe and built a life together, navigating cultural and linguistic barriers head-on. The couple's hotel business, spanning both sides of the Jordan River, was marked by difficulties such as lack of privacy, living under Israeli occupation, and constant threats from regional strife. Despite these obstacles, Ann and her husband persevered, and their hotels became a hub for well-known figures in the region. Through it all, Ann shares her story with love and humour, offering a unique perspective on human nature. Set against the backdrop of late 20th and early 21st-century Middle Eastern politics, this memoir is a compelling account of one woman's life. The Palace Hotels have endured as a testament to Sami's dreams and strength, and Ann's unwavering determination to support him. This memoir is a remarkable story of love, resilience, and the human spirit.
