Desert Royal: Princess 3 (Princess Series, 3)

What I found with this book and the other two in the series was that it's a very different culture and these habits, views and opinions have been developed and bred for decades, in regards to the way women are treated. It infuriated me because of the inequality but it's not easy to change things that life and culture are based upon and around for decades but there are changes and you see it at the end with Sultana's son. Her husband (and his brother) is different to most men there. I've come across men in the last couple of years who are either American or British and think they are above women.I admire Sultana for speaking out and wanting change, I feel she has done this with a lot of grace and style. She has told the story of her life and events that have happened. She has never attacked someone in a nasty manner, she has questioned and made statements about their behaviour. This carries through into Desert Royal and Jean Sasson has done a wonderful job capturing Sultana's life.Having read the first two books ( Princess  and  Daughters Of Arabia: Princess 2 ) I was still shellshocked by some of the behaviour of the men. It doesn't make easy reading but there is hope and it's a slow moving revolution but a revolution in process. Sultana's circle (near the end of the book) is a sign of change, especially as some of the husbands agree with the women on the treatment of a young girl brought to a desert camp.

Loved this book found it hard to put down. I felt I was there with the princess. Fantastic. Would recommend it to all readers.

I read the first book in this series a few weeks ago and then the second and now the third! I just wanted to keep on learning about the life of Saudi Arabian women. It is fascinating and also horrific what women still have to endure in this day and age. It would be interesting to read more of life for those who do not belong to the royal family.

Great highly recommended

Purchased as a gift, feedback, a great read.

This third book is just as a compelling read as the first two books. The details of the life of this royal princess gives me a good insight into the lives of females in KSA. I, through my career, have visited Saudi Arabia many, many times since 2004 and now after reading these books I have a much better understanding of Arab females who are born in the Kingdom and how their upbringing impacts differently from Europeans and how it affects their views and actions.

I really loved reading Princess and his book. I found Jean Sasson and excellent writer and I found myself actually looking and being with the people in this book.I am looking forward to reading more about the lives of these women whose lives are dictated by men. We westerners are so very lucky in many ways from these women even if we have not the riches or luxury that they enjoy..

I've enjoyed reading jean seasons books and pray that more men read these books so that can understand how important it is for women to have rights so that our world can be a better place for all.

I love Jean Sasson's book and I have a lot of them. However, my latest book "Desert Royal" sounded awfully familiar to me after reading the first few pages. So, I took a look at my Jean Sasson library and lo and behold, there it was. The same book as Desert Royal only the title was "Princess Sultana's Circle" with a different cover. There was one page in the front of the book but that was the only difference. The Table of Contents are the same. Both books are dedicated to Kayleigh. So, now when I order books from Jean Sasson, I guess I will have to check out the Table of Contents first and make sure it's not the same book under a different cover!

Its a great work and very nicely written in a lucid manner. One must read other books of the author

I couldn't put it down and passed it around to my friends who couldn't put it down either. It's a true story and unbelievable how these people lived.

Thankyou Princess Sultana for sharing your story and shining a spotlight on the horrific way that women are treated in many parts of the world. Your passion for helping change this and improve their lives is inspiring.

Jean sasson's books never a review. They r always gooood
