Search - Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia (Princess Trilogy, Bk 1)

I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I actually only put it down to sleep because the story was so compelling. As I described the story to a friend, he was surprised I would like it so much. That is because there are descriptions of events that are both frightening and brutal. The author doesn't dwell long on the gory details, but gives you just enough so that you have a sense of both the lavishness and trials of lives of Saudi royal women. The result, although a bit too tidy in places, compels you to read on.

Didn't know if I really wanted to read this but after the first few pages, couldn't put it down. My Western mind couldn't get around some of the things that happened. This is, after all, the 21st century. Fascinating! Will be reading the next book in the series for sure.

Unbelievable story written by a woman who grew up in--and eventually fled--Saudi Arabia. Reads like an adventure novel, except it is real. Could not put it down!

This book focuses on a few girls, princesses. When you think of a princess, you think of a life of wealth and riches. However, I believe that many of these women would give it all up to have true love and be able to just express themselves freely and openly as a women, as a human being.

This is an amazing book that I could not put down! Not for the squeamish! Very graphic look at the sad & brutal life of a Saudi woman. Princess or not, being born a woman in Saudia Arabia is not something I would wish on anyone! If you have any interest in Arab culture this is a must read! Can't wait to read book 2 in the trilogy!

I couldn't put this book down. What an eye opener! It made me thankful for the freedom we as American women have. Can't wait to read the other 2 books about this princess and the women of Saudi Arabia. A must read
