| 1 | The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: An American Journalist In Yemen | 2010 | Jennifer Steil | Buy |
This collection highlights Jennifer Steil’s non-fiction writing, anchored by The Woman Who Fell from the Sky (2010). The memoir documents her four years in Yemen, where she trained local reporters and navigated the complexities of journalism in one of the Arab world’s poorest nations.
Steil’s time in Yemen also shaped her fiction writing. Her husband Tim Torlot was the British Ambassador to Yemen, and the couple was evacuated after a suicide bomber attacked his convoy. These experiences informed much of her later work.
