We were talking about this this morning: Her life as a fake: bestseller's lies exposed
Key point for mine:
Khouri, now 34, spent much of 2003 retelling this story, reducing listeners to tears and anger, in interviews, book festivals, bookshops and other events. She toured the world with the story, from appearing on network television in the US to being selected for a citywide book club in Adelaide.
While making her new home at a secret location in Queensland and fearing for her life, Khouri became a standard-bearer for oppressed Arab women and triggered a publishing trend of similar books.
The truth is very different, and may affect Khouri's legal residency status in Australia [my emphasis].
