Detta är en av böckerna som avslöjar livet som Saudiarabisk prinsessa.
Det är verkligen en berättelse om orättvisor och kvinnor med häpnande mod. Kvinnor i gyllene burar som har hela systemet emot sig, och ett helt regim som förbjuder dem att vistas ute utan sällskapet av en av manligt kön. Ett regim som inte anser att kvinnor ens får köra.
Detta är min personliga favorit trilogi.
Man inser med denna boken hur långt vissa människor är beredda att gå i rättvisans och jämställdhetens namn, verkligen en av mina favorit böcker någonsin.
