I couldn't understand the all story, most of the events wasn't so clear, and I didn't like that the Dutch publisher deleted a section of the novel for no apparent reason.
But it was good to read the book, At least I knew, that in that period of time, the kings of Morocco were changed like a man would change his socks.
The book also corrected my belief that the prisoners were languishing in prisons, while awaiting their release, but no, it turned out that they could marry, have children, work and set up businesses... despite all the restrictions and harassment they were experiencing.
