Kenyan-born writer Elizabeth ‘Bizzie’ Frost presents a unique perspective of the people, culture and landscapes of the Middle East in her travel memoir, Travels with Maridadi: Harley-Davidson Adventures in Saudi Arabia.

In 1999, Bizzie’s life was turned upside down after a botched spinal operation in Saudi Arabia left her partially paralysed at 45, requiring a walking stick and wheelchair to move around. Frost and her family had relocated to Jeddah city in 1984, when her husband Richard ‘Frosty’, a Boeing captain for Kenya Airways, got a job with Saudia Airlines.
