Princess Sultana's Daughters

By: Jean Sasson

Narrated by: Catherine Byers

Listeners of Princess were gripped by Jean Sasson's powerful indictment of women's lives behind the veil. Now, in the compelling sequel, Jean Sasson and Princess Sultana turn the spotlight on Sultana's two teenage daughters, Maha and Amani.

As second-generation members of the royal family who have benefited from Saudi oil wealth, Maha and Amani are surrounded by untold opulence and luxury from the day they were born. And yet, they are stifled by the unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on them, driving them to desperate measures.

Throughout, Sultana and Sasson never tire of their quest to expose the injustices which society levels against women. Princess Sultana once more strikes a chord among all women who are lucky enough to have the freedom to speak out for themselves.

Critic reviews

"Absolutely riveting and profoundly sad..." ( People magazine)

"A chilling story...a vivid account of an air-conditioned nightmare..." ( Entertainment Weekly)

"Shocking...candid...sad, sobering, and compassionate..." ( San Francisco Chronicle)

Misleading title

The book is about a lot more than just the Princess' two daughters and a great addition to the Princess' first book.

Sounds from the mouth of the reader

This book series is fantastic and offers great insight. However, it was a torture to listen from the reader because of the sounds coming from the dry mouth of the reader as she read the book. For people who have such sensitivities, these sounds are unbearable and extremely frustrating. Please give her some water next time.

Intriguing

What a great book!! Looking forward to another sequel if she writes it! Enjoyable read!

Eye opening

very good read! I learn a lot about the culture and women's rights. I will probably read the next book.

Another difficult to listen to page turner.

I had to take breaks from listening to the stories of vicious evil injustices toward women in order to calm my rage, despair and compassion. Blessings to this princess for her revelations.
