I read the Spanish version of this book. This is the kind of book that makes you travel to a distinct world. You fell like a companion of the main character, an Imochar (a Tuareg noble), in his wandering in the desert and cities of Algeria, seeking for revenge and justice.

It is a melancholic book in the sense that it is about a human group and values fated to vanishing in the present world. Through the book you get to know this proud people were women has more freedom than among any other muslin groups. Simultaneous, it is one of the last societies with a rigid cast system, which includes slavery.

The story is very absorbing, inspiring, and full of surprises. In my point of view, the book is devalued by the very last sentence. I would spare this last touch of irony. But I very much enjoyed the book until that moment.

I read this book a long time ago. Unfortunately my copy was lost ...last week while visiting a book store I asked for this book and they have it in the pocket format ...luck !
This is an great book . You can almost feel the desert heat ! I mean it !!!!
