À propos de cet audio

Princess describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country.

Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: 13-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age; young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room". Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.

A New York Times best-seller, Princess was named one of the 500 Great Books by Women Since 1300. It was also an Alternate Selection of the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club and a Reader's Digest Selection.

The determination it for her to defy her father and then her husband is brave. She took calculated risks to get the life she wanted with the restrictions of the family.

An interesting inside look at a princess' life

This book was just amazing! Sometimes hard to listen to some stories but it makes us appreciate the freedom to which we have access. The princess is the story of a woman with an impressive caracter. I loved it!

Amazing book

Some stories written in this precious book, are heard more often than what we would like to hear. The success here are the words used by Jean Sasson. Is so well put together that you wish the book will never end. Quite recommended not only to get informed about other cultures but to be appreciative of our freedom.

A book to be read and re read

The main character seemed naive to me. I don’t understand how you can live in a country where the majority of men have multiple wives then tell me you never imagined your husband getting a second wife.
Also, Saudi men are NOT representative of all men (I felt like the author kept generalizing).
She author needs anger management therapy.

I also don’t understand how the author fails to see the connection between her culture and her religion… Muhammad married a child (Aisha). This is a guy y’all put on a pedestal. It makes sense that your men would see it okay to marry 13 year olds.

P.S: Your culture is fucked up!

Interesting Read but…

Loved! All women relate - no matter how much/little. Still the life of many women today.

As women we all can relate on some scale

Amazing book, well read

The suspense of this book will have you coming back every moment you get a chance to. As soon as it was finished I was downloading the next book to get the next phase of Princess Sultana's life. A real Saudi princess with names changed to protect her privacy/life will make you feel like you are living within the Saudi Kingdom and have a better idea of what goes on behind the veil for so many women in Saudi Arabia, let alone the privileges of living as royalty.

Amazing story, couldn't stop listening!
