Can you imagine what it would be like to be swept off your feet by a royal prince to live a charmed life in the marble palaces of an oil-rich nation - and then to watch your fairy-tale romance turn into a nightmare of Islamic superstition, isolation, betrayal and abuse? What would you do if you managed to escape your life of torment - and then your children were kidnapped by their own father? This is what happened to Jacqueline Pascarl.
In Once I Was a Princess, Jacqueline recounts her part in this controversial, headline-grabbing international drama with heart-rending honesty.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
I read it at a gallop, like a thriller, sometimes forgetting that it is all horrifyingly autobiographical -- Helen Osborne * The Spectator * Jacqueline Pascarl's life is like the blockbuster movie it will probably become -- Bel Mooney * Mail on Sunday * All parents tucking their infants safely in to bed at night can only begin to imagine the torment Jacqueline has endured. Her excellent book will do much to increase public awareness of and sympathy for the wicked realities of child abduction * Daily Mail * . . . the literary equivalent of Edvard Munch - one long scream of unbearable grief and pain * The Australian * . . . a vivid picture of a stifling, enclosed world, where women are neglected or abused, and kept in a state of ignorance which robs them of all initiative * Sydney Morning Herald *
