A powerful book that all women should read, especially those of us living in oppressive countries. I did like the first book better, but doesn't mean that this one wasn't good. Can't wait to read Daughters of Arabia.

Sultana is the youngest daughter from her father's first wife and has seen the injustices done to the women in saudi arab.she is betrothed to be married to Kareem,one of the royal cousins as she is one of the princesses.she tells of the story of the circumcision her sisters had to endure,the fate of the foreign domestic workers who worked there,as told to her by her own helper,whose friend was raped almost daily by the males of the house she worked in,of how she thought she found happiness with her husband.Sultana claims Kareem is open minded,but yet whenever they are in public in Saudi,Kareem makes her wear the headdress,and she feels that there is too many injustices to women in saudi arab,where girls are sold to men at least 5 times older than them and stoned to death or imprisoned to death in some cases.a riveting and insightful read on the lives of the saudi women
While reading this book there were moments when I felt really sad. No women rights at all, I mean until ten years ago there were no proofs that Saudian woman ever lived. There were no informations about their lives.
This book isn't very qualitatively written. Maybe because before this books I read another one that truly amazed me.
But either way I think I will read other parts as well.
