=== This book contains examples of: ===
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: And how. {{spoiler|We've got Fred for Harriet and Peter for Jay, although the latter is more implicit. None of the requited relationships work out too well either.}}
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Bodering on [[Downer Ending]]. {{spoiler|The project succeeds but just about everything else goes down in flames - Jay and the Sheikh die in a flood, along with the funding for the project, Harriet and Fred part while he stays married to Mary and Peter turns into a train wreck. The only real bright spot is that Fred finds a decent job and the Yemeni government are considering rebooting the project in the distant future.}}
