Helpful Score: 1

A fascinating listen. The reader is perfectly-accented, at least I assume the accent is correct. Her reading surely breathes life into this tragic, at times unbelievable, story of emotional barbarism we probably find hard to believe still exists in our modern world. Too, the contrasts she lived, a pampered child in an opulent palace to starving in a roach and snake filled cell with her family. How do you go from dancing and partying the night away as a teen in Morocco and Paris, to 20 years of absolute squalor and cruelty. Can we in the west imagine jailing toddlers? A lesson for everyone, rich or poor.
