Default Good books

Can anyone reccomend any good books about the love and Journeys that two people from different cultures go through in life? Mostly true stories.

I have two examples.

Both by an author called Jacky Trevane

1 - Fatwa (this is a true story)
2 - Invisible women

But if you have read any others of interest, and would like to share them with us. It would be appreciated. Thanks

Kezza - if you want one along the same lines as Fatwa try reading "not Without My daughter". cant remember who it was by. I also read a book about a Pakistani Muslim becoming a christian called "The Torn Veil".

I'm going to get Fatwa. I always enjoy a Jackie Collins book while I'm layed on my sunbed! Last time I went I read "Don't tell Mummy". It was good but such a sad book! Not a very good holiday read
