Desert Royal

Synopsis

Readers of Princess Sultana's extraordinary autobiography, PRINCESS, were gripped by her powerful indictment of women's lives within the royal family of Saudi Arabia. In DESERT ROYAL she continues her story at a period of crisis in her life when she reveals her shameful secret - especially so in a Muslim country where alcohol is forbidden - that she has a drinking problem. The forced marriage of her niece to a cruel and depraved older man, and her discovery of the harem of sex slaves kept by another cousin, makes her more determined than ever to defend the rights of women in her country. Her cause is given an extra sense of urgency against the backdrop of increased dissent against the Al Sa'uds, and the looming spectre of Islamic Fundamentalism.
