Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia 301 reviews Jean P. Sasson
Windsor-Brooke Books, 2001
God bless you, Jean P. Sasson.
+ A very good read + To Princess Sultana...
I read this book without regard to ethnicity or political belief. I read it as a woman -- as a human being who suffered at the thought of what other women are enduring in the name of "religion" or "culture."
There is no explanation possible to make this palatable to anyone with a conscience. To ...

Keeping Faith: A Novel (P.S.) 138 reviews Jodi Picoult
Harper Perennial, 2006
fictional exploration of miracles and family love that rings true
+ Very Good, Very Addictive, Very Controversial + a nice surprise!

Seven-year-old Faith talks with God and casually, even unwittingly, heals the sick. Her fragile mother, ...

March 139 reviews Geraldine Brooks
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006
Adding dimension to a one-dimensional classic...
+ Unanimous favorite + "Little Women" From Anothor P.O.V
The "horror", "shock" and "dismay" by reviewers who found March an aborhent departure from the classic that inspired this beautifully conceived novel seems more aptly suited to pre-teens than mature adults. Is it really so amazing that a decent man can be flawed? That a happily married man might, ...
