Excellent concise summary of a fairy tale life as the princess of Morocco's adopted sister. Then her father participated in a coup and was executed. She and her mother and siblings were banished to the desert in extremely harsh, inhuman conditions. The King of Morocco was trying to kill them off "naturally". It's amazing any of them survived...solitary confinement, harsh weather extremes, little food. They even chopped down the trees and flowers around the prison so there was nothing to see or give hope. This book speaks loudly for the still existing repressive Middle Eastern governments that don't take human rights seriously. Medieval torture is still alive and well in Morocco...
