PRINCES: A TRUE STORY OF LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL IN SAUDI ARABIA describes the life of Princess Sultana Al Sa'ud, a princess in the royal house of Saudi Arabia. Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country.

Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: thirteen-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age, young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room."

PRINCESS is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage, and you will never forget her or her Muslim sisters.

    A compelling and disturbing read. Life in the Royal family of Saudi Arabia is certainly not an easy or a happy one, certainly for many of the younger women. They have so much money at their disposal and obviously live lives of great luxury, never wanting for the material things of life! However money does not buy happiness in what to outsiders is such a cruel world. This will certainly make you appreciate the western lifestyle and the freedom of women within our world.
