Thank God It's Wednesday: An American Family in Saudi Arabia
Maralyn G Doyle
(Author)
Description
In 1973 Maralyn Doyle and her family arrived at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where her husband, Jack, would teach English at the College of Petroleum and Minerals for the next four years. Her letters home, sometimes hilarious and always interesting, describe a Kingdom in change, cultural misunderstandings, and unusual events, as well as encounters with zealous Saudi censors, crazed drivers, a corpse on a bus, underwear thieving gardeners, and a spike wielding Yemeni. Through her letters Maralyn provides a narrative of her family's daily life in Saudi Arabia as well as detailing the eccentricities of her fellow expatriates.

Maralyn lives in New Hampshire with her husband Jack and a cat named Miss Muffet. In 2007 she retired from Health and Human Services where she worked after returning from Saudi Arabia. She still enjoys traveling in third world countries and now has no fear of cheap hotels, cockroaches, and fleshy pink lizards.
