We enjoyed reading the book and thought the author was very brave to have written it. The first person narrative put the whole horrible experience into perspective. The subject matter was quite intense and hard to believe it is going on in Saudia Arabia as we live our free, comfortable lives as women in the United States. We are interested in how Sultana's life has continued and if she is still living in Saudia Arabia and if she is still refusing to live under their system or if she has been able to leave it.
Very interesting and timely documentation of the life of women in the Middle East.
Fascinating insights into life behind the veil. The cultural chasm is a little hard for westerners to bridge. Sultana reveals shocking truths, but at times her effort to be a postive force or change seems trivial
Not well written, but dramatic depiction of the life of a woman in the Mideast--lack of opportunities, freedom, and potential of extreme punishment are way of life.
