Pillar of tolerance

Article Abstract:

Muslim writer and lecturer Fadia Faqir says that her novel about the plight of Islamic women, Pillars of Salt, was inspired by the film Lawrence of Arabia. The lack of women in the film prompted her to begin writing about the lives and experiences of Arab women. Faqir graduated from Jordan University when she was 25 and accepted a scholarship at Lancaster University, England, where she wrote her first novel, Nisanit, based on the story of Arabs who were tortured in Israeli jails. She resided in the UK.

This can make it hard for them to avoiding talking about work when they are at home.
