Jean Sasson’s international bestseller
PRINCESS
A TRUE STORY OF LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL IN
SAUDI ARABIA
A New York Times bestseller recently named as “one of the best 500
books written by women since the year 1300”
PRINCESS describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa’ud,
a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black
veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her
country.
Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday
occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human
rights violations: thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times
their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the
“women’s room.”
PRINCESS is a
testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never
forget her or her Muslim sisters.
