But remember things and experiences change from country to country, culture to culture, family to family!! And mind you that the West is not the Benchmark of Progress (to quote Piku here) by any means. I’ve only now read this book and plan on reading the others as well. If this is not your cup of tea, but want to learn about Muslim cultures then I suggest you take a look at the media, music, the poems and books written by them. Sultana is from the highest rank in the country and the book tells of those within the lowest as well as do Sasson’s other books. Princess Sultanas Circle by Jean Sasson 4. Just remember this is not a story every Saudi Arabian woman faces or every Muslim woman for that matter. Pick this book up you want to read about human rights abuses (I don’t want to label then women’s rights, because then we become a separate class by doing so, instead of being considered human from the first) and how things are in Saudi Arabia and how they have been for a long time. There is great concentration on what can a person do on the earth to do better and that going far in to Paradise or back in time, it doesn’t matter, human right’s are still abused no matter what.Īgain, very well written and a quick poignant read. This one though concentrates in realisation as Sultana falls the deep end in to self loathing. The last one was about the extremes of the Islamic faith to the worst purposes.
