![]() ![]() There are no words to describe how I feel about men like Ali, who do not deserve to be considered human being. Young and shy Munira, who decided to become a social worker and assist the handicapped, was forced by Ali to marry an evil man, a hater of the female gender. Although he was trained to become mutawwa, according to Sultana he “had absorbed none of the goodness called for in Holy Koran”. This time, her heartless brother Ali, married his own daughter to…Hadi!!!!! Yes, yes, the same obnoxious Hadi, who raped eight-year-old girl in Egypt in first book of the sequel. In Desert Royal, through Jean Sasson, Sultana tells about another case of forced marriage. She broke salience on unbelievable suffering that still so many women experience in their lives. I expected Desert Royal to be at least as good as Princess and Daughters of Arabia, but what the author offered was disappointing melting pot of various stories…Jean Sasson did not satis fy my booklover’s appetite this time.ĭespite my feelings about the quality of the third book, I deeply appreciate the author for revealing cases of appalling brutality against women in Saudi Arabia. ![]() The proverb the appetite grows with what it feeds on describes so well my experience with Jean Sasson’s work. ![]() However, Desert Royal is the weakest one. ![]() All three books in Princess Sequel are shocking, thought provoking and fascinating. ![]()
