About the Book
Forbidden but Allowed is an intimate memoir of a British expatriate navigating life in Saudi Arabia from 1984 to 1998, an era when the Kingdom was a strict and closed society.
At thirty, Bizzie Frost moved from Kenya to Jeddah with her two children to join her airline pilot husband, Richard.
Struggling initially with depression because of the restrictions on women that forbade her to drive or work, she soon discovered unexpected opportunities.
Making the most of each one, Bizzie built a successful career as a wedding photographer and journalist, gaining unique insights into Saudi traditions, culture, religion and daily life.
Beyond a personal narrative, Forbidden but Allowed offers a vivid snapshot of a society in transition, balancing the challenge of restrictive norms with moments of surprising liberation. Blending adventure with cultural reflection, it provides a rare glimpse into a world that has since undergone significant change.
