Osama bin Laden's former sister-in-law provides a penetrating, unusually intimate look into Saudi society and the bin Laden family's role within it, as well as the treatment of Saudi women. On September 11th, 2001, Carmen bin Ladin heard the news that the Twin Towers had been struck. She instinctively knew that her ex-brother-in-law was involved in these horrifying acts of terrorism, and her heart went out to America. She also knew that her life and the lives of her family would never be the same again. Carmen bin Ladin, half Swiss and half Persian, married into and later divorced from the bin Laden family and found herself inside a complex and vast clan, part of a society that she neither knew nor understood. Her story takes us inside the bin Laden family and one of the most powerful, secretive, and repressed kingdoms in the world.… (mais)

'Vroeger was onze achternaam een naam als alle andere.
Nu is hij synoniem met dood, lijden en terreur.' Op 11 september 2001 was Carmen bin Ladin met haar auto onderweg naar haar huis in Zwitserland toen ze het nieuws van de aanslag op de Twin Towers hoorde. Instinctief wist ze dat haar zwager Osama hier iets mee te maken had. Ze besefte dat vanaf dat moment het leven van haar dochters nooit meer hetzelfde zou zijn. In Het gesloten koninkrijk verhaalt Carmen bin Ladin over haar leven in Saoedi-Arabië, een land dat de deur naar het Westen potdicht houdt. Ze mocht er haar eigen auto niet besturen, kon zonder mannelijke begeleiding haar huis niet uit en diende haar kinderen naar een streng islamitische school te sturen. Ze kwam er al snel achter dat ze in een middeleeuwse maatschappij leefde, waar de oude wetten van de woestijn nog golden. Carmens grootste angst betrof haar drie dochters. Ze zouden geen goede opleiding kunnen krijgen, vanaf hun twaalfde gesluierd over straat moeten en nooit hun eigen man kunnen kiezen. Uiteindelijk wist Carmen bin Ladin haar man ervan te overtuigen naar Zwitserland te verhuizen, waar het huwelijk ten slotte strandde. Carmen en haar dochters leven weer in vrijheid - de gevangenschap is voorbij, maar de achternaam is gebleven.

Informative.

Carmen Bin Ladin tells her story in Saudi Arabia and living with the Bin Ladens. Her story makes me appreciate my freedom more than ever. And that money and material wealth is meaningless when you have no freedom. ( )

Quite a superficial book, this is about the author's unhappiness with her repressive life in Saudi Arabia. She also showed a lack of sensitivity in constantly questioning the Saudi women's submissiveness to the regime. It's a wasted opportunity as she could have gone more in-depth given the unique perspective she offers as a daughter-in-law of the Bin Ladin family from the West. ( )

Fascinating look into the culture of Saudi Arabia and the Bin Laden family. Reminds me how grateful I am to have been born a female in the west. ( )

Carmen was educated, westernized, self-confident, not particulary religious; she married into a very rich and powerful family; and in their private life her husband treated her pretty much as an equal. Thus when she reports on her experiences as a woman in Saudi Arabia, you know that she is reporting on the best possible experience any Saudi Arabian woman could ever possibly have. That is what makes her story so shocking. This is as good as it ever gets, and other than an escape to the West, there doesn't seem to be any hope for it ever getting any better. ( )

My dearest Wafah, Najia and Noor,
It is with the greatest joy and hope - and also some apprehension - that I undertake the task of writing the story of my life. (Preface)
September 11 2001 was one of the most tragic dates of our lifetime.
