Spoiler.  I’m reading a book from every country in Asia and this one is ideal. It’s about a family from Bahrain who has difficulties.  Wedding practices, fears over the Kuwait war, are dealt with.  It doesn’t go into the differences bw Bahrain and really any other Islamic country but it’s the best book I e read so far for this project.
