jillhondo 's review for:
Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail
by Malika Oufkir
To be sure, what the author went through jolly well sucked. 15 years in prison with her siblings, hungry, cold, sick, etc. The story intrigued me; it's an interesting read.
HowEVer, the author (the narrator of this true story) was not a sympathetic character. I found myself annoyed by her more than once.
I kept waiting for her to have an epiphany about her situation: "Oh... so this is what my father put people through either directly or with his knowledge." Or: "Oh, so I see. The poor have to suffer so I can have my money and privilege." Or something.
I don't know. Somebody else read it and tell me what you think, k?
(I'm trying not to give away much in this review. You're welcome.)
