Pressestimmen
"Unforgettable in content, fascinating in detail - a book to move you to tears" (Fay Weldon, Mail on Sunday (Pick of the Year))"Anyone with the slightest interest in human rights will find this book heart-wrenching... It had to come from a native woman to be believable" (Betty Mahmoody, bestselling author of Not Without My Daughter)"Startling, frank and vivid" (Sunday Express)"Gripping... fast-paced, enthralling" (Publishers Weekly)"Princess is a mind-boggling look at the everyday life of a contemporary woman in the 21,000-member-strong royal family... absolutely riveting" (People magazine)
Synopsis
In a land where Kings still rule, I am a Princess. You must know me only as Sultana, for I cannot reveal my true name for fear that harm will come to me and my family for what I am about to tell you. Think of a Saudi Arabian princess and what do you see? A woman glittering with jewels, living a life of unbelievable luxury. She has gold, palaces, swimming-pools, servants, designer dresses galore. But in reality she lives in a gilded cage. She has no freedom, no vote, no control over her own life, no value but as a bearer of sons. Hidden behind the vell, she is a prisoner, her jailers her father, her husband, her sons. 'Sultana' is a member of the Saudi royal family, closely related to the King. For the sake of her daughters, she decided that it was time for a woman in her position to speak out about the reality of life for women in her country, whatever their rank. She tells of her own life, from her turbulent childhood to her arranged marriage - a happy one, until her husband decided to take a second wife - and of the lives of her sisters, her friends and her servants.In contrast to the affection and easy camaraderie amongst the women, she relates a history of appalling oppression against them, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: forced marriages, servants bullied into sex slavery, summary executions. Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and great courage. By speaking out, 'Sultana' risked bringing the wrath of the Saudi establishment upon her head and upon the heads of her children. For this reason, she told her story anonymously.

Dieses Buch war bei mir in kürzester Zeit gelesen. Es ist toll geschrieben, man fühlt das gesamte Buch mit der Hauptfigur, man lacht und weint mit ihr.
The book was super interesting!
Tolles Buch, welches Einblick in die arabische Kultur bietet. Respekt für die Frau die bereit war uns hinter die Kulissen blicken zu lassen.
This true account of life behind the veil, i.e., life as a woman, as a member of the royal family in Saudi Arabia changed the way I think about several things.This intruiging account, based on a woman's forbidden journal that was smuggled out of Saudi Arabia, provides deep insights into what it's like to be a woman in a world so dominated by men that it is difficult for Americans to imagine.Imagine a culture where the birth and death of a women, even royalty, are of so little consequence that those events are reportedly not officially recorded. At the same time, women in the royal family have wealth and bounty difficult to imagine. The book describes how a family has homes in multiple places throughout the world, all of them identical, with identical things in them -- cars, furniture, clothing, toys, etc., so the family wouldn't feel displaced when they travel. That also makes it possible for them to travel without taking any luggage! Wow!This book covers topics including Saudi family dynamics, gender differences, entering womanhood, the effects of "Desert Shield" and "Desert Storm" on Saudi culture, and, of course, the all encompassing influence of Islam on the life of a woman.I heartily recommend this book. It will open your eyes, and help you realize that money certainly isn't everything.5 stars for an intruiging look into another culture.
Book Review: The Princess -"Jean Sasson"An excellent book, that really hits on what's missing in the media.....The truth This is a Biography of an anonymous Saudi Arabian Princess - who has risked her life to tell the tale of life behind the veil.... Sultana leaves little to the imagination when describing the male domination of her society and the harsh life style this leads to - particularly among the fanatically religious - to whom child brides (to men as old as their grandfathers), are little more than a way of life - and the killing of a woman who has disobeyed you is ignored and swept under the carpet If you think that your life is hard - read this and think yourself lucky to be alive in this world of a rat race.... Sultana is a wealthy Princess born into the wealth of oil that her country have stumbled upon - She has everything materialistic that she could hope for, or, even imagine - Yet she is still distraught with her social strata - which carries with it a lifestyle of abuse to human rights Men are all that matter in this culture and they make the rules to appease their desires - which are mainly sexual and lead to the abuse of teenage and even child harems - the buying of children for sex from poorer countries such as Egypt ..... These are only a few of the harsh revelations uncovered Sultana is most fortunate to have married a loving and caring man . This along with the forced marriage of her niece to a cruel and depraved older man, and her discovery of the harem of sex slaves kept by a cousin, makes her more determined than ever to fight the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia for herself, her sisters and her daughters.....This book is not a one off as most Biographies are - but its series emphasises the on going troubles of the country (Others in the series "Desert Royal" and "Daughters of Arabia") Once you read the first of the series you are hooked into Sassons's empathetic style This is a book of life - from the coming of age to marriage and to motherhood - all set against the highly contrasted lifestyle of a Saudi Princess - with the lavish materialistic backdrop of pure elegance and the harsh lifestyle that women must constantly battle against or surrender to and loose all freedom. Although women will find this easier to relate to than men - that is not to say that it is a female only book - far from it - it is a factual book that would appeal to all that have an interest in our world and its societies and the oppression of human rights......
In the biography, Princess, Jean P. Sasson tells the story of a young girl, Princess Sultana, living in Saudi Arabia. She came out from under her veil so the truth could be told of her countrymen's abuse upon women. Princess is an intimate look at one woman's struggle against the injustices of an extremely repressive society. I thought that Princess was an incredible book. It is because of a courageous princess who risked torment or even death that this story could be told. While living in Saudi Arabia, Jean Sasson was approached by the young princess and was asked to capture her life story as a women's activist. Sultana disagreed on how women were treated and portrayed in her country. She wanted to educate people on the inner workings of her society. Sultana was not present while Sasson was writing Princess, in hope the book's production and publishing would be kept a secret from her family. Jean Sasson studied the princess' notes and diary trying to capture her every emotion as a rebelling feminist. Sasson's book is a page-turner that made my hair curl in disbelief. In the book Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, there is a rebellious teenager, Jane Eyre, who reminds me a lot of Sultana. Jane speaks out for what she believes in. Both Jane and Sultana were blessed with creativity and placed little importance in other people's opinions. Both works are particularly good at depicting the character's personality and dissenting views on their society's traditions. This could be seen when Sultana was expected to get married. The bride-to-be picked out the most radiant dress of red lace. She cared little about what her father and husband's mom would think as the usual wedding dress was made of a soft pastel color. Sultana was a daring young woman who kept the reader in high spirits with her own radiant spunk. Princess was an amazing portrait of life that made me understand the huge disparities between different cultures. Words cannot express the feelings produced inside while reading the fabulous biography of Sultana.
