Scope and content
Inez was one of two maids which the Despott family had in their employ at their villa in the Giorginpopili neighbourhood of Tripoli, Libya. According to Jean Borg, when communal violence used to break out between the Libyan Muslims and the Libyan Jews (which was common), Inez and the other maid, Fatimah (who was Muslim), used to come to blows. Anne Despott, Jean's mother, used to separate them for days by ordering one to stay on the upper floor while the other one was confined to the ground floor of the villa.
