Daughters Of Arabia

In "Daughters Of Arabia," Jean Sasson continues Princess Sultana's candid exploration of women's lives within the Saudi Arabian royal family. This powerful narrative shifts focus to Princess Sultana's own teenage daughters, Maha and Amani, who, despite being surrounded by immense wealth, grapple with the profound restrictions of their society. Their stories, alongside those of other family members, illuminate the complex interplay of opulence, tradition, and the yearning for personal freedom within a rigidly structured culture.
