Summary: So far removed
Comment: I am from Australia and I live a fairly simple life. Women have a fair go (compared to Arabia) and we can be anything we want to be. Reading these tales takes me to another world and shows me that despite what our media tells us, a materialistic way of life means nothing if your hands are tied in other ways and you don't have freedom. Princess Sultana is not happy! Even though she has "everything" she needs, I consider my life far happier, with less problems. I don't understand that if these people have so much money, why don't they leave their country and live a "normal" life in a western civilization, if there are so many problems in their homelands? This book made me sad. She tries so hard to be assertive, but the bottom line is, her husband will always win. She is an alcoholic because she has so much time on her hands. Why not put her time to better use and educate herself? If her husband loves her as much as she says he does, he would allow this! Thank God for our free way of life. How I love my one bedroom home with my one husband!

Summary: Flawless
Comment: I finished this book and was left feeling cold and hostile. Opposite of my reaction to the prior two Sultana books...Not to say that I do not pity these women. Of course I do, and Jean Sasson weaves Sultana's tales together with technical skill and high-pitched emotional cries for help...I found Princess Sultana's Circle to be an evocative book filled with the passions and whims of a child-like woman. Her sincerity and love for her God, King and Country (in that order) are obvious and the world would be lucky to have women like her in countries that allow women to speak freely...

Summary: An overindulged Princess
Comment: I found this book to be very shallow. Princess Sultana's circle is an overindulged group of royal females who recognize the Arab woman as abused and degraded. They consider themselves helpless in saving their fellow woman in a nation driven by the superior male. She travels in private jets to different countries, spends $328,000.00 at a time at Bergdorf Goodman's in New York, and sucumms to alcholism. Her heroic feat was to stop a rape, and take the vicitim to a doctor. Princess Sultana has alot more work to do before she should consider herself a hero.
