Slow going at first, but picks up steam once she gets out into the Moroccan countryside. Great insight into the real Algeria as well, especially in the "outback" where things weren't always as they seemed, although I found it a bit confusing keeping track of all the players there.
The two French guys she traveled with were straight out of a Tintin adventure, IMHO (yes, I *know* he's Belgian!).
Recommended for re-enforcing the reality that a nation's government isn't always universally popular.
