Informative, gave me a lot of insight into the history of Algeria, in particular their struggle for independence. Made me aware of the Sétif Massacre as well, and the subjugation the Algerians experienced in Paris.
I also got to know about Edmond Charlot and the writers within his realm at the time, centered around the Mediterranean. A story about loss, time, changes and such, it is not so much an attack of gentrification as a poignant resignation to its occurrence.
A short read too, quite enjoyable and enlightening.
