well this was another book i read by chance but has stayed on my mind for along time...
my cousin who had come from dubai had broughtalong wither a book which had acover of muslim girl encased in jewels fully coverd and veiled except for her eyes..i was immediatly intrigued.......
freedom is something which is much talked,written and read about but if u want to true meaning of this word u just have to read this book...
it is areal life story of a royal family a saudi arabian princess in particular narrated to a journalist....regarding how the men intheir lives...father,brother and husband have them battered and bruised mentally and physically!!when you r reading this book you will experience every emotion possible from indignation to shock,horror,outrage and finally sadness.....
if u are a feminist this book is defnetly a NONO for chances are that u wil not survive the first 50 pages of the book without succumbing to a panic attack....
i have also read her next book mayada which deals about the life of an innocent muslim women in clutches of saddam hussain torture jail...but frankly after reading princess...nothing surprises me any more....

I completely agree with you there . Princess is a must read on what freedom is really about . However i feel that upon reading this book , it's capable of converting a normal girl to a feminist !! Honestly it makes our Indian men look like they are royalty when it comes to etiquette and manners !!
