Review: Déception - Très formel et presque barbant récit de la vie incroyable et intéressante d’une femme extrêmement charismatique. Je ne renonce que rarement mais je n’ai pas terminé ce livre, c’est dire. Il y a d’autres ouvrages bien meilleurs avec les détails et coutumes de la vie dans le harem.
