Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm Mama Ogre and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on Desert Royal by Jean Sasson.
In Princess, readers were shocked by Sultana's revelations about life in Saudi Arabia's Royal family. Royal women live as virtual prisoners, surrounded by unimaginable wealth and luxury, privileged beyond belief and yet subject to every whim of their husbands, fathers and even their sons. Daughters of Arabia featured Sultana's teenaged daughters, determined to rebel but in very different ways.
And now in Desert Royal Sultana's fight for women's rights in a repressive, fundamentalist Islamic society, has an extra sense of urgency. The threat of world terrorism, the gathering strength of religious leaders and the discontent of impoverished Saudis are threatening to topple the comfortable world Sultana has known. But an extended family 'Camping' trip in the desert brings Sultana and her relatives face to face with their nomadic roots, and nourishes her will to carry on the fight for women's rights in all Muslim countries.

I went looking for this book in my local Waterstones after I'd finished reading the first at my local library, I bought a copy of the first book Princess alongside this book and the secondary book, Daughters of Arabia. Like the other two books I really like this book, its definitely a great follow up and shows a sort of completion to the princess story as well as showing that the story lives on. I highly recommend this book to all readers, especially teenagers and lovers of history and biographies, and I give the book a 7/10.
Jean Sasson was born in Troy Alabama, US in 1950 and having grown up in a small town she found adventure between the pages of several books. The urge for adventure inspired Sasson to work and travel abroad. Sasson met her husband Peter at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh whilst working as an administrative co-ordinator of Medical affairs. Sasson had made several friends in the middle east including several members of the Al-Saud royal family. One that stands out is “Princess Sultana” the princess behind the Princess Trilogy. Sasson as written several other stories based out of the Middle-East and is currently based in Atlanta Georgia, Sasson's website is down in the Bibliography below.
