Lords of the Atlas: The Rise and Fall of the House of Glaoua, 1893-1956 by Gavin Maxwell

3.0

I wish I had read this before we visited the kasbah at Telouet, but it's almost equally good after having been there. I was less interested in the politics of Morocco (which were complicated and unpleasant) and more interested in what it was like to live day by day under the rule of the Glaoua family (equally complicated and unpleasant, but what did they eat, who did they entertain, etc.).
