What her mother doesn\u0026#39;t know is that there are some things about growing up that are universal. In Qatar, Sophia is faced with a new world she\u0026#39;d only imagined as a child. She sets out to find her freedom, even in the most unlikely of places.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth family saga and coming-of-age story, \u003cem\u003eThe Girl Who Fell to Earth\u003c/em\u003e takes readers from the green valleys of the Pacific Northwest to the dunes of the Arabian Gulf and on to the sprawling chaos of Cairo. Struggling to adapt to her nomadic lifestyle, Sophia is haunted by the feeling that she is perpetually in exile: hovering somewhere between two families, two cultures, and two worlds. She must make a place for herself\u0026mdash;a complex journey that includes finding young love in the Arabian Gulf, rebellion in Cairo, and, finally, self-discovery in the mountains of Sinai.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.e-flux.com/journal/on-sophia-al-marias-the-girl-who-fell-to-earth/\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":2738,"name":"Sophia Al-Maria","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
