Honestly a disappointment. I was expecting so much more from this.
First of all, I hated that the switches between first and third person were so sudden and unannounced. Not even a change in typeset like italics to denote it.
Secondly, while the plot itself is very intriguing, I honestly just felt let down by the ending. I felt like there was much more that could be done.
That being said I did like the fact that Emmeline falls in love with a culture outside of her own and how she views the people of Algeria. And Moore doesn't fall trap to describing female characters in strange ways as some male authors tend to do.
