Helpful Score: 1

a very interesting, if disturbing account of life behind the veil for women in Saudi Arabia. I have now also read the sequel. This is an autobiography of an actual Saudi princess and her struggle for a share of control in her life. Passed from father to husband like cattle, Saudi women have little role to play in their country's destiny at the moment. If you like this type of book, you must read Nine Parts of Desire by Geraldine Brooks which is a collection of articles written about women throughout the Muslim world as Geraldine lived and worked abroad as a reporter.
