I read it because my neighbour said it would be an interesting read to find out more about the islamic way of life. And indeed, I learned a lot. It was not entirely new to me what was told, but I was still impressed by all that I read. How even a princess in the higher social echelons is subject to the caprices of the men in her life. It makes me again feel so grateful that I was born and raised here. (Although here's not paradise either!!) When I read the first part of the trilogy, I couldn't wait to read the rest. But, the more I read, the more I got a feeling that I had read enough. I got annoyed by the style or the story, or maybe both. I did read it till the end, but...I was glad I finished part 3. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This was a fascinating view into the life of an Arabian Princess, and it's not very enviable. ( )
