Sand Queen

I n f o r m a t i o n

»Benedict's novels explore the themes of war, trauma, displacement, isolation, racism and sexism, often through the eyes of people who fall outside the predominant culture. She has written of Middle Eastern and African refugees in her forthcoming novel, "The Good Deed," and Iraqi refugees and war veterans in her recent novels "Wolf Season" and Sand Queen. "Sand Queen" was the first American literary novel about a female soldier serving in the Iraq War. (...)
The material for "Wolf Season" and Sand Queen came from Benedict's research for her 2009 nonfiction book, The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women in Iraq. In The Lonely Soldier, Benedict describes the experiences of female troops fighting in the Iraq War and their abuse at the hands of their male comrades.« -- More information: Wikipedia
