When Jean Sasson's book Princess: Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
was published, it became an immediate international bestseller. It sold
to 43 countries and spent 13 weeks on The New York Times bestseller
list.
Now, in this long-awaited, compelling new book, Sasson and
Princess Sultana return to tell the world what it means to be a Saudi
woman today.
Through advances in education
and with access to work, Saudi women are breaking through barriers;
they are becoming doctors, social workers, business owners. Major steps
forward have been made. But this is not the whole story.
Sadly, despite
changes in the law, women are still subjected to terrible suppression,
abuse and crimes of psychological and physical violence. For many, the
struggle for basic human rights continues.
PRINCESS, MORE TEARS TO CRY
reveals the intimate struggles of Saudi women inside one of the richest,
most conservative kingdoms in the world. These are stories of triumph
and heartbreak amongst the highest- and lowest-born. Princess Sultana
speaks frankly about her strong-willed daughters, her beloved husband
and the contentious Al-Saud family whose daily battles about what it
means to be a woman in Saudi Arabia mirror those of the society at
large.
PRINCESS, MORE TEARS TO CRY is an unforgettable journey into the
hearts and minds of Saudi women, and will be forever etched into the
memory of readers.
