This is a fascinating and horrifying true story about the jailing of the eldest daughter of the King of Morocco's closest aide. After spending most of her childhood and adolescence in the seclusion of the King's court harem, she was imprisoned in a penal colony along with five of her siblings and her mother for more than 15 years. This true story is shocking, but told with detail and even some humor. The story will keep you clutching the book, reading intently and anxious to find out how it ends. There is no question that it will hold your attention and leave you wondering how this could have happened in our time, rather than many, many years ago.
