Description
The thirtieth anniversary edition of a twentieth century classic – an unforgettable journey through 1960s Morocco, based on the author’s own childhoodFor fans of Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals, Laurie Lee’s Cider With Rosie and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray LoveQuirky, charming and suffused the footloose spirit of the sixties, this is the irresistible story of an English woman who decides on a whim to move herself and her two young daughters to Morocco. The ensuing adventure takes them through richly perfumed markets, dilapidated hotels and mystical Sufi retreats, via friendships and feuds, romances with nomadic street performers, hitch-hiking and nights camping by the coast – all seen through the eyes of a precocious five-year-old girl. Rediscover this transporting modern classic about the spirit of freedom, filled with the sights, smells and textures of twentieth century Morocco.
