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

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Reissue of the sequel to the massive worldwide bestseller PrincessReaders of Princess Sultana's extraordinary biography Princess were gripped by her powerful indictment of women's lives behind the veil within the royal family of Saudi Arabia. They were every bit as fascinated by the sequel, Daughters of Arabia.Here, the princess turns the spotlight on her two daughters, Maha and Amani, both teenagers. Surrounded by untold opulence and luxury from the day they were born, but stifled by the unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on them, they reacted in equally desperate ways.Their dramatic and shocking stories, together with many more which concern other members of Princess Sultana's huge family, are set against a rich backdrop of Saudi Arabian culture and social mores which she depicts with equal colour and authenticity. We learn, for example, of the fascinating ritual of the world-famous annual pilgrimage to Makkah as we accompany the princess and her family to this holiest of cities. Throughout, however, she never tires of her quest to expose the injustices which her society levels against women. In her courageous campaign to improve the lot of her own daughters of Arabia, Princess Sultana once more strikes a chord amongst all women who are lucky enough to have the freedom to speak out for themselves. Readers of Princess Sultana's extraordinary story, PRINCESS, were gripped by her powerful indictment of women's lives behind the veil within the royal family of Saudi Arabia. Now, the princess turns the spotlight on her two teenage daughters, Maha and Amani. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
