With Princess Sultana's Circle, the extraordinary story of Princess
Sultana continues.
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, makes this brave royal princess more determined than ever to
fight the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia.
Princess Sultana's cause is given an extra sense of urgency against the
background of increased dissent against the Al Sa'uds, and the looming
specter of Islamic fundamentalism. But an extended family "camping trip"
in the desert brings the luxury-loving Sultana and relatives closer to
their nomadic roots, and gives her the strength to carry on the fight
for women's rights in all Muslim countries.
This book 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.
