About this ebook
The powerful true story of Sultana continues with PRINCESS SULTANA'S CIRCLE, the third book in Jean Sasson's internationally best selling Princess Trilogy. The forced marriage of Sultana’s niece to a cruel and depraved older man, and Sultana’s discovery of the harem of sex slaves kept by a royal cousin, make her more determined than ever to fight the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia. PRINCESS SULTANA'S CIRCLE paints a horrifying reality for women of the desert Kingdom. It is a haunting look at the danger of Saudi male dominance and the desperate lives of the women they rule.
A New York Times bestseller, 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good read. Interesting from the start with many topics covered.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is certainly a well-told biography. It is an eye opener to another culture, and how differently women are treated, and how they treat each other. When your own culture takes for granted it's basic human rights, it is shocking to find out that life is very different for people all over the world. The 'news' on TV doesn't do justice to what really happens to people. You have to read books to find out the truth.
