    A must-read for anyone interested in Middle Eastern history. Gertrude Bell’s contributions are finally being recognized. Excellent!

  4. Mohit Kumar Swami

    I was disappointed by the lack of personal details in the book. It felt more like a historical overview than a biography.

    An inspiring story of a woman ahead of her time! I was completely captivated by Bell’s courage and intellect. Highly recommend.

    An important biography that challenges traditional narratives about the Middle East. Gertrude Bell’s perspective is invaluable.

    This book opened my eyes to a forgotten figure in history. Gertrude Bell’s story is both inspiring and tragic. I loved it.

  14. Sagar Langyan

    Gertrude Bell’s story is fascinating, but I wish the book delved deeper into her motivations. Still a good read.
