![]() ![]() All that said, it was a good story, and I'm trying to review without spoilers here. ![]() Maybe 25, when I was more understanding of what a period piece was. I certainly would not hand this book to a typical 12 year old, and in all candor, I don't think I would have liked it at 16, and I had my own digs at that age. Finally, we have a long trek through the Sahara, replete with casual racial slurs, such as "nigs" and something that is today a disparaging term, "Musselman" to indicate Muslim. It continues with a tale of rich white aristocracy in the United Kingdom and the duty that they had to their tenants. Beware! The book starts with tableau of death, the killing of an enlisted man by an officer, and a nightmarish scene of dead men posed to defend a fort. First off, this is listed as a kid's book. ![]()
