Produktinformationen zu „The Ruins of Us “
More than two decades after moving to Saudi Arabia, Rosalie learns that her husband has taken a second wife. The discovery plunges the powerful family into chaos as Rosalie grapples with leaving Saudi Arabia, her life, and her family behind. Meanwhile, their consuming personal entanglements blind them to the crisis approaching their teenage son Faisal, whose deepening resentment has led to his growing involvement with a controversial Sheikh. When Faisal makes an ill-fated choice that could destroy everything his embattled family holds dear, all must confront difficult truths as they fight to preserve what remains of their love.
