Caravan = Kyaraban sabaku no ai (Paperback Bunko)

I'm curious whether Dorothy Gilman drew from personal experiences or extensive research to craft the vivid setting and cultural details.

The blend of humor and serious themes kept me hooked, but I wonder if that was intentional to reflect the characters' resilience.

The cultural richness felt authentic, but I’d love to hear about the research process or considerations behind these portrayals.
