L-J's Review of Princess Sultana's Circle by Jean Sasson

The conclusion of the trilogy includes more outrageously horrifying moments but also unexpected hope.  Princess Sultana's risky move to share her story at least brings awareness to the true situation for Saudi Arabian women.  Before reading this trilogy, I was living in ignorant bliss.  Though I had read the fictional account of life in Afghanistan, A Thousand Splendid Suns, it makes the reality more appalling when you know it's a true account--as is the case with the Princess Trilogy.

On our nation's birthday this year, I am even more grateful that I was blessed to be born in The United States of America.


XOXO,
