About this listen

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.

Fascinating look into the Saudi world 🌎

This is a 2 book and I was excited to read it and find out more about the life and culture of Saudi woman and horrific treatment of woman by the man. I love Sultanas story and her witty ways. Great book, but it makes me sad as a free spirited Polish woman to see how badly woman are treated in different countries 😢.

Princess Sultanas Daughters

Memorable story, but struggled with the narration.To me, the narrator sounded like she was swishing hard mints, cough drops, or some other such candy from cheek to cheek while she read. Very distracting.
