Summary
When Jean Sasson's book Princess: Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia was published, it became an immediate international best seller. It sold to 43 countries and spent 13 weeks on The New York Times best seller list. Now, in this long-awaited, compelling new book, Sasson and Princess Sultana return to tell the world what it means to be a Saudi woman today. Through advances in education and with access to work, Saudi women are breaking through barriers; they are becoming doctors, social workers, business owners. Major steps forward have been made. But this is not the whole story. Sadly, despite changes in the law, women are still subjected to terrible suppression, abuse, and crimes of psychological and physical violence. For many, the struggle for basic human rights continues. Princess, More Tears To Cryreveals the intimate struggles of Saudi women inside one of the richest, most conservative kingdoms in the world. These are stories of triumph and heartbreak amongst the highest- and lowest-born. Princess Sultana speaks frankly about her strong-willed daughters, her beloved husband and the contentious Al-Saud family whose daily battles about what it means to be a woman in Saudi Arabia mirror those of the society at large. Princess, More Tears To Cry is an unforgettable journey into the hearts and minds of Saudi women, and will be forever etched into the memory of listeners.

Another great book
I love the Narrater & Author in these books, Jean Sasson, part of why I am enjoying these books so much..
Princess Sultana voiced the words so well & it gives me a perfect image of her, her surroundings & the people she describes… some of these stories are hard to listen to but I’m glad they were shared & I do hope & pray that life for women & children in Saudi Arabia does get better… I definitely have a different opinion now & I don’t class all the men in Saudi Arabia the same, thank God for the strong men who choose to stand up for women & children & may many more like them come to be.
I love listening about Princess Sultanas marriage to Kareem, it seems perfect to me..
Please God more parents will raise their sons & daughters like they both are. I would love more than anything to meet them & tell them how much they have inspired my heart & mind & if I could do anything in my power to help, I would x

Great book - continuation of Princess story
What did you like most about Princess, More Tears to Cry?
Insight into modern life of Saudi Arabia, how things have changed. It is continuation of previous books, first of which was Princess. They show the life of women in Saudi Arabia and fight for women's rights.
