A Leap of Faith by Queen of Jordan Noor
It was interesting to learn about the middle east from a different perspective, but the book overall was dry. While I can't say my own memoirs would be fabulous, this read kind of like a high school kids diary...and since Queen Noor seemed to lose her soul to her husband and queenhood...not such an interesting diary.
I don't consider myself much a feminist, but the absence of her own opinions and self in the book was disturbing. I would like to think that the queen simply not free to share all of her true feelings.
It made me realize how valuable self-determination is and how it can be taken away in ways that one might not expect (such as becoming a queen which one might think would entail having the world at your disposal).
