Stolen Lives is an incredible and powerful story of a families struggle for freedom. However if you don't have knowledge of Moroccan History this book can be a bit confusing at times because you have little to no background information.
Stolen lives gives you a glimpse into the conditions of a rich family use to an extravagant life style who are suddenly imprisoned and placed in horrid conditions. This book is about a family's courage to stay strong, united and eventually escape in order to become free again.
This novel lacks personality but don't let that sway you from reading and learning about the violation of human rights.
