A former Associated Press correspondent draws on her firsthand knowledge of the Middle East in this compelling debut novel, set in 1967 just before the war with Israel.
Set in Transjordan just before the 1967 war with Israel, Staircase of a Thousand Steps is a "remarkably well-written...thoroughly absorbing novel" (Arizona Daily Sun) that takes us to a place where memory whispers like fear, where visions of a long-ago forbidden love affair haunt a precocious young girl - and where the flare of old rivalries can be as sudden as searing as the desert wind.
