Summary: An okay book
Review: This book shows true revealing information about the goings on in Saudia Arabia. I decided to give another review. Make it less complicated.Princess decides to tell us the lives of her children. However what she fails to do is be discreet about it. I know books tells all but because the things she is saying can and will affect her daughters marriage, what others think of her, I found that appauling. I prefered her other book Sultana's Circle than this. For she tells of her daughters lesbian love affair and that to me is so private. She is gossiping about their affairs and I think it is simply wrong. I recommended her third and first book. I do not recommend this book for general reading only if you want gossip. Sorry princess.

Summary: Excellent read
Review: This book shows true revealing information about the going on in Saudia Arabia. We find out that throughout that what you do comes back to you and comes in a form of children. Two daughters- one who defys being dominated by men and another who defys both her sister and mother defying men. This daughter becomes a strict muslim- who is devouted to religion and the rigidity of it. Mrs. Princess wonders how she raised such a daughter and often shows her weariness of her- but I believe seems to not realize that her daughter was crying out for help. She wanted her mother to independent but to also notice that she was a muslim mother. This is my speculation not a fact. The books goes deeper into all the characters. Again, I will say, that she speaks to much about her daughters business. I still feel the same way- she should have stuck to her life and although her children are her life- they have a right to privacy. I could imagine the devestation of telling the whole world that one of her daughters had a sexual relationship with another woman could be hurtful and harmful as she gets older. The book is a quick read. Mrs. Princess is growing up finally, and to be honest- getting the rude awakenings that most women should- that the world is about being a part of a whole and working towards peace together. I would recommend the Sultana's Circle, Not Without My Daughter, Between Defiance and Restraint.

Summary: Excellent read
Review: This book shows true revealing information about the goings on in Saudia Arabia. The only thing that I felt was horrible is how her daughters turned out. I see nothing wrong for a woman to a feminist but she has no respect for husband or her own family. There are things, I would not share, and would keep in a journal or diary. Most definitely stick to her life but out of others. She is demanding respect but has none. However, this book is wonderful, and a quick read, I could not pur it down. Maybe she will be watchful next time of what she says.

Summary: Daughters of Arabia
Review: Gender equality cannot be justified while the tradition of male dominance still exists in some countries in which "women [have] everything but freedom..." (Daily Mail) Males dominate and abuse women over aspects of their bodies and behavior, including their movements and language. However, when a woman begins to assert her rights, the response is harsh. Despite the consequences, Princess Sultana breaks from the chains of restrictions to reveal the tragic truth of how women are treated in Saudi Arabia. Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to stand up for themselves, nor choose their fate. Every woman in Saudi Arabia lives in a world of injustice. Similarly, Princess Sultana's daughters, Maha and Amani, live in a world encircled by wealth, luxury, and male cruelty. Witnessing male brutality in various forms had an impact on Maha's life. For instance, as Maha views her best mate's father using young virgins as sex slaves, her hatred towards men develops. Therefore Maha loses interest in men, and becomes a lesbian with her best mate. The modifications in her life had a vast impact on her, for she suffers from a breakdown and is admitted into a mental institute in England. Amani, Princess Sultana's younger daughter, becomes an extreme religious fanatic, as she wants to donate all her wealth to the poor, not knowing what poverty really is. In addition, Sultana encounters other obstacles in her life, such as trying to conceal her nephew's rape of an unconscious woman suffering from serious injuries in a local hospital. Sultana exposes the tragic stories of Saudi Arabia as she builds public awareness of the ugly truth. This novel depicts evidence of the heavy burden women still bear in Saudi Arabia and how inequality still prevails in societies. Women are expected to submit to men and defiance by women is translated as undermining male honor. How is it possible that such ancient brutality and ignorance is thriving in this the twenty-first century? This novel reveals the truth that women are still engulfed by discrimination. The most appealing factor of the novel was that a Princess broke the rigid rules of her country to reveal the truth of women behind veils. What engaged me most to this novel was a Princess' portrayed of a determined woman who voices her opinion, even though she doesn't have the freedom to. It shows that not all women are going to bear the heavy burden. I would strongly recommend this novel to people interested in women's human rights, and for those who would like to build awareness of the profound issue of human rights.

Summary: Sleepless in New York City
Review: I didn't get any sleep for a week once I made the discovery of these Princess books. A true life story brought to our reality by author Jean Sasson who lived and worked in a hospital in Saudi Arabia. She lived there from 1978 until 1990--12 years. During those 12 years, she came to know a number of women who had to veil everytime they left their homes. These are women whose husbands are unknown to them until the night of their wedding! In these books you hear how this environment affects individual lives, as well as you learn a LOT about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. After 9/11 every person in the world should be interested in that country and the lives they live that creates such personalities. Take a Princess, mix her in a royal Kingdom, add wealth, tragedy, happiness and misery, and you have a turn-paging drama. Jean Sasson has a marvelous way of making you care about these women who are so wealthy and spoiled that your palms often itch to smack them. Yet, you CARE... Thanks to this author for her compelling way of bringing Saudi Arabia and the people in the country, to life... It's a fun-filled lesson to read these books.

Summary: Princess Sultana
Review: ... If Sultana reads it, i would like to say that she was born to do such a thing, risking her own life, this woman is the most courageous on earth and her destiny was to shout to the world about what happens in foundamentalism countries that we all did not know. I believe that i was born for a mission too, and i do hope that i became part of your team, let's make these women have the right of being a person, untill they dont have the right of a born certificate or death certificate, our victory won't be finished!Sultana i am your fan !!! let's make a big team and we can start a revolution, it has already started with the first book! Lots of Love

Summary: Couldn't stop Reading...
Review: Princess Sultana's Daughters was as good as Princess, the first book in this trilogy. I laughed and I cried and I was terribly sad when I closed the book. I cannot remember ever enjoying a book this much. I could not stop reading and I stayed up so late that I almost missed class the next day. PRINCESS was required reading for my best friend (literature class) and I decided to read it after hearing her talk about the book. I am so glad I did. Believe me when I say, you do not want to miss the PRINCESS TRILOGY.

Summary: Great Sequel
Review: Generally I don't go for sequels, but this one is as good as the first. I cannot imagine anyone reading PRINCESS and then being strong enough to resist DAUGHTERS. Every girlfriend I have is reading this book. The Princess books are becoming a "cult classic."
Rating:
Summary: Another great book ABOUT THE PRINCESS
Review: I enjoyed this book more than the first one. I gain a better understanding of Sultana with each book. Thus, I am excited to read the next book and hope that J. Sasson keeps us updated on the Princess and her family with future books.
