"Princess" is the shocking autobiography of Princess Sultana, a Saudi royal, written by the internationally acclaimed best-selling author Jean Sasson. The book is absolutely the very best book I have ever read because it is gripping, highly detailed and so incredibly moving. There are so many interesting stories that Sultana shared in the book that I will never forget.

Because I felt like Princess Sultana was actually speaking to me as I read "Princess"; her thoughts and words were so vivid and real. I have never read another book like this that was so inspirational. As an authority of Arab culture and womens rights in the Middle East Jean Sasson also went out of her way to educate the reader on all facets of Saudi life. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying Saudi/Middle East culture or to anyone that enjoys true stories.

This is the book that truly started it all, it was written more than 22 years ago by the Middle East expert and authority on women's rights, Jean Sasson. Since then the author has written 3 other books in the series (included the newest book, "Princess, More Tears to Cry" that was just published), as well as several other best-selling books about the Middle East.

With the exception of Ester's Child (it's a historical fiction novel), all of Jean Sasson's books are true, non-fiction stories.

I would highly recommend reading "Princess", as well as the new book, "Princess, More Tears to Cry". All of the "Princess" books are published in hardcover as well as on Kindle and all of the other e-book formats.
