I picked up this book because I dream of going to Morocco some day. It’s a country that I find immensely fascinating. Douglas Kennedy, to his credit, accurately positions the country in its contradictions: the beauty of the scenery, cuisine and average people juxtaposed with the horror of the heat, lawlessness and danger for solo female travelers. These wondrous descriptions of Marrakesh, Casablanca, and the Sahara, among other locations, are the only reasons I held on to the story the whole way.
