Petra in a new light : Married to a Bedouin
I am an American who has been living in Petra about 15 years now, and I found so many new and interesting things to enjoy from reading this book. Marguerite's story is a very personal and completely fascinating saga of falling in love and making a highly unusual life in one of the caves of Petra. She became totally immersed in the life of the Bedouin tribe which once inhabited the caves in amongst all the marvelous antiquities of the site.
Her stories of learning to bake the paper-thing Bedouin shiraq bread, doing laundry and grabbing the chance to have a swim in the spring of Wadi Siyyagh, racing around the country trying to deal with all the bureaucracy to get her marriage license.....what an adventure!
I only met Marguerite and Mohammed after they had moved from their cave to a house in the government-built Bedouin village outside the ruins. Reading this book about the years they spent in the cave in Petra gave me a new appreciation for her ability to meld a modern woman's sense of independence with a Bedouin tribal existence. This would be quite a feat for anyone, but her book shows that lots of love and a good sense of humor can overcome the most remarkable challenges.
This is a GREAT story. Each of us has to cope with life as it happens, and it's usually not exactly what we had planned. Marguerite tells us how she handled both the large and the small challenges of a life as far from imaginable as possible. It's an inspiring story, not least because she manages to make it all sound so un-remarkable.
