This is a truly shocking book about the deplorable way Saudi women are treated.
Helpful Score: 1
a very interesting, if disturbing account of life behind the veil for women in Saudi Arabia. I have now also read the sequel. This is an autobiography of an actual Saudi princess and her struggle for a share of control in her life. Passed from father to husband like cattle, Saudi women have little role to play in their country's destiny at the moment. If you like this type of book, you must read Nine Parts of Desire by Geraldine Brooks which is a collection of articles written about women throughout the Muslim world as Geraldine lived and worked abroad as a reporter.

One of many thousands of princesses in Saudi Arabia telling her side of the story about what life is like for Arabian women. She's spoiled and selfish. It may be easy to pity her but if she was so hard put upon why did she leave London when she was free? When her DAUGHTER was free! Difficult to take her seriously. Remember, in every castle lies a dungeon.

I think this book is wonderful - scary - and a dose of reality of how some women are forced to live. I am so thankful I am a woman in America!

The book is truly mesmorizing. The life a woman endures in the middle east is so far beyond ou American grasp of understanding that just reading this book takes a near suspension of belief. A must read!

This book makes your really glad that you live in a country where women are not chattel, where we have a voice, an identity and the ability to become something other than a man's property. At risk to her own life, Sultana has spoken out and revealed the truth about what being a woman in Saudi Arabia is really like. Even Princesses have no rights. Even they are considered worthless. Heartbreaking!

I didn't realize things were quite this bad... but I admire the Princess for her tenacity and dreams. Sasson, the ghostwriter, creates a sensitive, yet enthralling narrative... and I'm looking forward to reading the sequels... and wishing there was something else I could do to help besides pray.
