Memoirs of a Princess

And we thought the geishas had it tough. This book has been around for a while but it bears a greater significance for me now, serving my tenure in Dubai. It's all too familiar with the stories we read in the papers about how women are treated in fundamentalist Islamic places in the world but who would have thought that Saudi princesses were exempt? Read Sultana's story and you will know why it is the type of story that makes us sit up and count our blessings. Apart from that, it is a story that is spellbinding, and just like "Memoirs of a Geisha", it is just screaming for a movie deal.
