'Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia' by Jean Sasson BOOK REVIEW

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia written by Jean Sasson.

Taken from Wikipedia:

Sasson first met 'Sultana', the Saudi Princess, at an Italian embassy in 1985. The two women became friends, and Sasson learned more about inequalities in Saudi society from 'Sultana'. 'Sultana' requested that Sasson write her life story, revealing the hidden life of a Saudi princess, as well as issues affecting the lives of women living in the kingdom, albeit the information had to remain anonymous for her safety.

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, was the first of the Middle Eastern woman genre and quickly became a New York Times and international bestseller in many countries, including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, and too many others to name.

The book has been printed in 30 different languages as of 2009. Princess was chosen as one of the best 500 books to be written by a woman. An option for movie rights was sold to FRAMEWORK PICTURES in 2006. The book's popularity prompted two sequels about Princess 'Sultana'. Both became international bestsellers in more countries than can be named in this article. At last count, the PRINCESS books had sold over 10 million copies combined.

Savage Culture!

we are actually ashamed that you are a muslim, you are defeated internally

coz you let your selly mind follow whatever the media is throwing at it!

well, can you tell me how many wars have been started by arabs?

you bearly can name one or two, but on the other hand..

how many wars have been started by U.S.A?

i bet you have to use both hands to count, right?

now you know who is savage!

Arabs are the most kind and generous people you could ever know .. idiot

[smukase]

@TheRegimelife yes true, but islam should not be associated with arabs, period! i think arabs in general r a disgrace to islam, they think islam belongs to their crazy savage cultures while currently india has the largest population of muslims in a country. i as a muslim, am ashamed to be associated with arabs sometimes because of their lewd practises

@TheTrafficer

Wong, You cannot compare religion with some government. USA started wars, and so did muslim world.

Now go and count how many terrorist attack involved muslims.

[dapodokumentary]

@TheTrafficer Arabs have started more wars than America can ever dream of, how do you think Islam was spread. Islam is Arab and Arab is war. Google Islamic conquest to get information on the violent history of Islam and Arabs.

i have read this book and the follow up books as well,i was griped from the 1st page to the last,and it shows that no matter how many riches you have you can still be unhappy. we in the west find it hard to understand the ways of the middle east, and how women are treated, but that is their culture, maybe one day they will value women, but i feel it will not be in my lifetime

[griffithksa2]

i will read that book when i have time because it's look like interesting book , nice video and i wish if i can speak like u girl :(, ur english is good

[ZeekMegaBoss]

just a question if you are talking about islam and our culture why not wear a hijab just because it confusing ... your talking about arabian culture and yet your not following it come on and the book you told us to read it is useless because we all know what saudi princes do get drunk all day night and eat and sleep

[miladmeah]

Of all the people in the world to choose from Allah HAD to find a Schizo-Epileptic illiterate Arab as his prophet?

The Quran was in Quraysh, when Arabic had not yet developed

Exp, Arabic word harb (war) has the same appearance like other words but different meanings:

حرب.خرب.حزب.جرب.حزن.جزت.حزت.خز­ن

(war, damaged, party, tried, sadness, rewarded, caused pain, stored)

Take away the dots & all look the same, readers’ common sense had to work out which word was meant as what
