Published to wide critical acclaim in France, Badawi is Mohed Altrad's heartrending debut novel, inspired by the author's own narrative arc from Bedouin orphan to engineer and finally billionaire businessman. In the Syrian desert, a young boy watches as his mother dies. She was a repudiated woman, abandoned by the boy's powerful father, leaving Ma ouf to his scornful grandmother. Though the Bedouin tribes have stopped their centuries-long travels across the dunes--their tents long since converted into sedentary shacks--Ma ouf's grandmother wants him to carry on tradition as a shepherd. But from the first time he sneaks off to the white-walled schoolhouse to watch the other children learn, Ma ouf envisions a different future for himself. This is one extraordinary child's story of fighting for an education, and a life, he was never supposed to have, from a tiny desert village to the city of Raqqa, from the university halls of Montpellier on to the oil fields of Abu Dhabi. But is a life of exile the one he wants? Can a child whose name means "the abandoned one" ever make a home for himself? With each step forward, he feels the love of his youth--a steadfast young Syrian woman named Fadia--and the shifting, haunted sands of his native village pulling him back toward the past he thought he had left behind.Binding Type: Paperback

Cute but slim fit not wide foot friendly
Size: 8.5, Color: Black
Bought these and they were so cute! The only thing was they were wide enough and I don’t typically have a wide foot. I would maybe size up or look for a wider fitting shoe if you have a wide foot. But the style and heel height were perfect not to high! I ended up returning because of the slim fit.

Love these
Size: 8.5, Color: Coffee
So comfortable, stylish, and easy to wear. This can be used with any outfit, whether it’s casual or something more dressy like for work. They are comfortable and easy to wear for eight hours at a time. Heel is nice and thick and very stable, which makes for walking in a heel very comfortable. The color is a beautiful nude, which does not look too chalky or too brown. This is a stable in my

Great nude shoe!
Size: 10, Color: Nude
Perfect nude dressy heal. Was not uncomfortable at all. I thought my toes would be sliding out. I did put grips on the bottoms because they are a tiny bit slippery and I am prone to falling. Cute and didn’t distract from my dress.

Only wear for short distances
Size: 8, Color: Nude
These heeled sandals were very cute and flattering. After a couple minutes of walking, my feet began to hurt. I got blisters upon removal. A few days later I tried wearing them again, it is still extremely painful. Great for pictures though!
