Another world!, July 11, 2008

"I bought this because I have a Berber friend and am interested in Mediterranean culture. The photography is very beautiful and gives insights into traditional women's work. The multi-generational images are particularly pleasing.
I looked at this book with my friend, who was delighted with the authenticity of the pictures of domestic interiors and traditional crafts, which she remembers from her childhood.
This is a timely reminder that it is possible to live a happy life without mindless consumerism, and that the development of mass tourism often destroys what a society most values."
