Reviews

"There is a bitter-sweet quality to this book, describing as it does an ancient, beautiful and once essential traditional craft in probably terminal decline...Other books have covered similar ground to this one with regard to the Gulf...But none, to my knowledge, describes the research process in such a charming and illuminating way, nor covers the weaving techniques in such instructive detail." Shelagh Weir, The Middle East in London, October 2010
