À propos de cet audio

A spirited artist with a can-do attitude, Yvonne Wakefield leaves behind a secure life in the lush Pacific Northwest to teach art in the desert state of Kuwait. Over the course of six years, she will instruct university-aged Muslim women, earn her students' trust, and learn the consequences of freedom of expression, taken for granted in one culture but not granted in another. Despite obstacles set by her detractors, she persists, and her students and life in Kuwait flourish. Yet the traps never disappear, only multiply, as others set more for her, intent on denying what they have no desire to understand.

Told from the unique perspective of an artist, Suitcase Filled with Nails is a colorful, true, timely, rare, and riveting tale about living and coping in the Middle East.

So very poorly read and produced. Very bad splicing resulted in such poor fluency that the already marginal story was quite unenjoyable. The cadence and “voices” of the reader was just bad. Very bad. The workplace bullying and harassment can be found anywhere and are not specific to Kuwait. This never ending portion of the story was therefore a superfluous exasperating annoyance. Why the heck did she stay 6 years if it was so bad. Go back to your husband in the states. Yes, sadly I did listen to the whole thing. Prospective listeners should not make the same mistake.
