Hope You Are Satisfied welcomes you to Dubai as you've never seen it before...

1990. Twenty-five-year-old Riya works for Discover Arabia, a tour guide company in the far-flung outpost of Dubai. In the months leading up to the first Gulf War, the city's iconic skyline and global reputation are just a gleam in developers' eyes. For Riya, it's a desert purgatory that spreads out between her family back home in India and her unknown future.

As political tensions run high, international arms dealers, American soldiers, CIA consultants, corrupt bosses and wayward vacationers all compete for Discover Arabia's attention. Meanwhile, Riya and her colleagues begin to plan their exit strategies.

Will a favour from Dubai's most notorious fixer offer Riya the chance to fulfil her financial obligations and escape to the United States?

Recenzijas

Exuberant, thrilling, and compassionate to the last page, Malik's sun-soaked novel is a testament to the power of friendships forged far from home -- Leigh N. Gallagher, author of Who You Might Be Full of hedonism and intrigue, this fast-paced novel is a historical snapshot that proves to be chillingly relevant -- Stephanie Feldman author of The Angel of Losses and Saturnalia Playful, cynical, and one of the best 'Man Who Knew Too Much'-style spy thrillers I've ever read. * Crime Reads * A beautifully written, suspenseful story filled with wonder that blossoms despite the looming threat of war. I loved it -- Gabrielle Korn, author of Everybody (Else) is Perfect and Yours for the Taking Hope You Are Satisfied is packed with international intrigue. Riya navigates that poignantly fleeting time in early adulthood when roots are tenuous and everything you want seems both tantalizingly possible and forever out of reach. I couldn't put this book down. -- Heather Young, author of The Lost Girls and The Distant Dead
