I first discovered these books when I was in the 7th grade when the first book PRINCESS, was required reading in my literature class. It was the only book that was equally loved by the males as well as the females in our class. From that time, I have followed the story of Sultana, a Saudi Arabian princess who has struggled for her entire life against male domination. After 9/11, the entire world looked at Saudi Arabia with new eyes and for the first time, news reports gave credibility to Sasson's books about the women of Arabia.For several years I have been wishing to see a set of these books and finally, it has happened! Yes!If anyone is interested in understanding the real workings of Saudi Arabia and why so many radicals come out of that country, the Princess books answers many questions.These three books are not only educational, but highly entertaining. You laugh, you cry, you seethe, you rejoice, all in the course of reading one book. A night of entertainment doesn't come any cheaper than the price of one book!I recommend these books to any reader, young or old, male or female.
A fascinating read for any -woman-we Western women are so lucky. I just recently read a new book called "Single in Saudi" by Genia that gives a different perspective on life in Arabia. The young woman in this book got away with all of the things the Princess could not. Both books are a must read for the liberated woman
Jean Sasson's books are an accurate indictment a culture of hypocracy! They reflect the cruel slavery under which the Saudi female population has endured for centuries and should be required reading for all human-kind free to do so. Human rights do not exist for women in Saudi Arabia and as women from other cultures marry into that one they swiftly learn upon stepping foot on Saudi sand they've just surrended their freedom for life!! Having spent time in the desert region I can tell you IT IS a culture of hypocracy!A Lansing, Michigan area reader.
I got the trilogy set as a gift and only started to read it b/c i had nothing else. Turned out I couldn't put the first book down b/c it is so amazing. Its incredibly honest, it pulls you into Sultana's life and you feel the need for more. I'm currently in the middle of the second book and cannot wait to finish it so i can get to the third.
These books never cease to amaze, enlighten, sadden, and thrill me. I finally bought the Trilogy set after borrowing the three individual books from friends. I cant get Princess Sultana out of my mind and I am empowered to help the plight of women in Saudi Arabia. I recommend this book to every sex and race, as it will open your eyes to issues that are so topical in current events today with war looming in the Middle East.
I borrowed this book from a friend. I loved the first book and couldn't wait for the second. It sent chills down my spine and made me weak at my bones. I realize now that I am so fortunate to live in this country. I now have to find a replacement book for my friend.
These stories about the sheltered lives of women in the royal family are interesting, yet shocking. They have every luxury imaginable, but do not have control over their lives. They are mistreated and sometimes bullied and abused at the whim of their princes. Mothers-in-law are powerful and petty. Some of the princes are kind and understanding, but seem to be controlled more by peer pressure to keep their women in line. They are bargained into arranged marriages that occasionally work out fine. Just as often, young women are handed over to cruel old men who can be sadistic rather than caring.I enjoyed the first book, but my interest waned as I progressed through the second and third books. Definitely a learning experience about a secretive culture.
It was very educational and well written. I noticed on the individual book reviews, this book got a few negative reviews that seemed as if they could only be from persons living in the middle east, that were insulted about the generalization that all women are treated like the ones in this book. While it does make the plight of women in Saudi Arabia appear terrible, I am sure this is not every women's experience. The terrible acts that she writes about happen all over the world, and in the U.S. also. It just seems that in that area it is more difficult to persecute them. Especially when parents actually sell their children. This woman (the princess) was just brave enough to tell about the things she saw in hopes that conditions would improve. My mother in law was a foreign bride brought to the U.S. (willingly) to marry a man 40 yrs her senior. I am sure she chose this option as a way to help her family left behind, and it did. In many ways that seems like abuse, but actually they had a long happy marriage and the money provided education and medical benefits to her family. I had trouble putting these books down and read them in a day and a half. Even just one person can change the world, and this woman has.
