The only reason I read that much of it was curiosity about the Berber culture of Morocco, which is exactly what I though it si, so then I became quickly bored. Themes of emotional and physical abuse, psychological terror etc are suppose to make for a heavy and sophisticated read, but the author adopts a first person narrator who constantly downplays these themes with humour, and then rebuilds the tension by creating expectation of more horror to occur in the coming chapter(s). The result is a literary failure and comes across as a cheap mechanism to keep readers hooked to the plot. Pity, with the write technique, narrative distance/voice and some style, this could have been a much, much better book.

As for the plot, the blurb summarises it pretty well, except that I don't think the family ever made it to Barcelona. It's hard to know though, because the book makes reference to so many 'local capitals' and 'regional capitals' and such that are never given names.
