The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Here from her home in Sana'a, Yemen is journalist Jennifer Steil who, until accepting a short-term teaching position with a newspaper in Sana'a in 2006, was a journalist and editor in the U.S., serving as senior editor of The Week, which she helped found in 2001. The three-week stint in Yemen has turned into four years ever since, immersion in the place she has called to come home, and the new book, The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: An American Journalist's Adventures in the Oldest City in the World (Crown). "With intelligence, humor, and courage, Jennifer Steil's book helps us see beyond stereotypes of male and female, East and West, conservative and liberal to appreciate the beauty and wonder of deeply rooted cultures—and the authentic relationships that can transcend them all." - Susan Piver. "Jennifer Steil's voice recalls that of Isak Dinesen and Freya Stark, generous and observant, unabashed in her love for her home in exile, yet unafraid to speak her mind about injustice and everything laced with wit and rich detail. This is an important book, about a corner of the world we cannot afford to misunderstand, and Jennifer Steil is the perfect person to guide us." - Tom Zoellner.
