Listeners of Princess were gripped by Jean Sasson's powerful
indictment of women's lives behind the veil. Now, in the compelling
sequel, Jean Sasson and Princess Sultana turn the spotlight on Sultana's
two teenage daughters, Maha and Amani.
As second-generation members of the royal family who have benefited from
Saudi oil wealth, Maha and Amani are surrounded by untold opulence and
luxury from the day they were born. And yet, they are stifled by the
unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on them, driving them to
desperate measures.
Throughout, Sultana and Sasson never tire of their quest to expose the
injustices which society levels against women. Princess Sultana once
more strikes a chord among all women who are lucky enough to have the
freedom to speak out for themselves.
