Thanking my readers
Although I have written more detailed comments to readers under the "Princess" title, I did want to take a moment to say I'm so pleased that the readers of "Princess," were compelled to read this second title about "Sultana."
Although I have written more detailed comments to readers under the "Princess" title, I did want to take a moment to say I'm so pleased that the readers of "Princess," were compelled to read this second title about "Sultana."
Honestly, in some ways, I favor "Daughters of Arabia," over the first title, since I believe this second book gives readers a more complete look at life behind the veil in Saudi Arabia. The first years of Sultana's life were so turbulent with tragedies that it must have been difficult for readers to find the good that does exist in Saudi Arabia. (Although there were many wonderful stories about Sultana and her sisters.) Certainly, every thinking person acknowledges that good & bad run through every country...
However, I had so much fun writing about "Sultana's" tricks on her wicked brother, "Ali." While writing about her experience of wearing his "magic" undergarment, it took me forever to tell the story because I was laughing so hard. And, the story of "Sultana" macing her overwrought cousin is hilarious!
Still, we can't get away from the main theme of these books, which is the terrible plight lived daily by so many women in the world. And, I would like to stress that the Princess is a believing Muslim, and the books about her life, and the lives of other women, have no complaint with the Muslim faith. However, there is valid reason to complain about men who misinterpret the words of Islam's holy Prophet, simply in order to retain complete control over all females.
How can it be that men are still holding women in sexual bondage in the year 1999? How tragic & sad...
Once again, the Princess and I are grateful to have found such a wonderful audience. By showing your care & concern about women in a country far from your own reality, you are a force to be reckoned with...
With kindest regards,
Jean Sasson
