The book opens up with a reporter, Geraldine Brooks, attempting to stay alone at a hotel in Saudi Arabia. The receptionist notices at check-in that she is not Mr. Brooks, but in fact Mrs. Brooks; so she is denied a room with a comment that only 'ladies of the night' in Saudi Arabia travel alone. Exhausted, Brooks, with no other option, decides that she will spend her night on a sofa in the hotel
