reviewed Prisoner of Dunes on February 26, 2008 Prisoner of Dunes
I gave this book five stars, because although relatively brief, Isabelle Eberhardt went through hell and back to describe what the nomad life was like for North Africans in her era. She did it in a way even more authentic than Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa, though-- she actually dressed as a man, placing herself in a great deal of danger, and kept secret journals as she traveled. Interestingly, it was easier for her "compatriots" to accept her engaging in a homosexual affair (i.e., having a man/lover creep into "her" tent at night) than it would have been if she'd been discovered a woman.
