Princess Sultana's Circle

by Jean Sasson

midpoint | December 4, 2009 | Trade Paperback

With Princess Sultana''s Circle, the extraordinary story of Princess Sultana continues. The forced marriage of Sultana''s niece to a cruel and depraved older man, and Sultana''s discovery of the harem of sex slaves kept by a royal cousin, makes this brave royal princess more determined than ever to fight the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia. Princess Sultana''s cause is given an extra sense of urgency against the background of increased dissent against the Al Sa''uds, and the looming spectre of Islamic fundamentalism. But an extended family "camping trip" in the desert brings the luxury-loving Sultana and relatives closer to their nomadic roots, and gives her the strength to carry on the fight for women''s rights in all Muslim countries.This book paints a horrifying reality for women of the desert kingdom. It is a haunting look at the danger of Saudi male dominance and the desperate lives of the women they rule.

    Excellent read!

    The third of Jean Sasson's books about this Saudi princess and very well worth reading. It's interesting, maddening and enlightening to see how women are treated in some countries. This is a true account. All three books were well written and show how women are treated in some Islam states in the name of religion.

    Well written, however, after 2 books on this family, I frankly got tired of their useless lifestyle and not much progress in helping Saudi women.

    Princess Sulatana's Cirlce ends the Princess Trilogy with a tragic yet beautifully hopeful conclusion. I recommend everyone who cares for human rights to read this!
