Read all three books, for they are eye openers and you can hardly put them down while reading them. One day I hope that these women will be free from their constrants that their men have put on them. Enjoy. The Princess trilogies are fantastic, for they show and tell the reader what it is like in Saudia Arabia; even being rich has it's downfalls. I want to make note that all Arab people are NOT like Saudi and not all mean that are Arab treat their women with total control like in Saudi.
I also enjoyed the history of Saudi Arabia and the royal family's origin. The Princess Trilogy was a great read inspite of the atrocities that were mentioned.
She has overcome remarkable odds to open the eyes of all women to what goes on in Saudi Arabia with women. What these two women have done is remarkable.
I wanted to get copies of these books on audio cassettes or cds for friends. I was wondering, does Princess Sultana's Circle come on audio cassette or cd perhaps.
The bravery of this woman is brilliant. Sasson has proven beyond all doubt that the pen is mightier than the sword.
BRAVO.Yocheved Cook I have read only two of the three books.

Could not put it down. Excellent read. Makes me glad I am an Autralian able to live a free life.
no matter the cost. This story follows the fuel that ignited the courage to stand up to long standing injustice. For American women, to defy is ordinary and not typically met with resistance.
I was pleased to discover a well told story that gave me a light but unprotected look at Sultana's world and the culture of her nation. This book gave me a sense of understanding from a point of view other than my own very American one. This story is written simply but soon captivates the reader by taking them into the mysterious palace, heart and world of an Arabian princess.
I found myself understanding the weights that tug at the hearts and manners of these women. Admittedly, it was an easy read but it did it did offer some cultural education. American women are generally aware that Middle Eastern women live under great restriction.
What we don't see is how they live with it, feel about it, rationalize it or deal with it when it becomes too much.
