Based on the true story of Princess Sultana, a member of the Saudi royal family, Jean Sasson reveals the hidden lives of women in Saudi Arabia. Behind palace walls, Sultana's story exposes both privilege and oppression, offering a rare glimpse into a world few outsiders ever see.
Eye-opening and courageous — a must-read for understanding women's rights in Saudi Arabia. Resonates with themes of female empowerment, cultural critique, and the emotional hook of one woman daring to speak out. The quote that captures it all: "Behind the veil lies a prison."
Perfect for fans of Khaled Hosseini (A Thousand Splendid Suns), Azar Nafisi (Reading Lolita in Tehran), or readers who want to start the Princess series from the beginning.
A paperback (1992) in Good condition. Minor wear, still highly readable.
