Royalty Editorial Review
The book, "B01J3NHIIQ", is a personal account of Emily, who was born in Zanzibar in 1844. She talks about her upbringing in a harem, her early adult life, and her contrasted experiences of life in Zanzibar and Germany, where she moved upon marrying a German man. The book offers a reflection of Emily's life that a reader can leverage if creating characters for a book and the setting was in that period and location. The author is comprehensive and covers a wide range of subjects, including day-to-day life, holidays, fashion, and food. Nevertheless, some customers found the writing style to be stilted and monotonous, claiming that the author took a lot for granted and described an uninteresting privileged lifestyle. The content, however, is historically important and provides a fascinating insight into the Swahili and Arab cultures of that era.
