"Two little girls are taken by their mother to Morocco on a 1960s pilgrimage of self-discovery. For Mum, it is not just an escape from the grinding conventions of English life but a quest for personal fulfilment; her children, however, seek something more solid and stable amidst the shifting desert sands. 'Just open the book and begin, and instantly you will be first of all charmed, then intrigued and finally moved by this fascinating story'."

I chose this book from the Intercultural Virtual Bookbox, knowing only what countries it includes, but not knowing the title. I'm thrilled with what it turned out to be. Thanks, ApoloniaX, for the book and the extra book and the postcard!
This book gave a wonderful sense of time and place. It was also interesting to read about this kind of wandering lifestyle from the point of view of a child.
Thanks, ApoloniaX, for sharing yet another one of your books with me!
Dancesports has chosen this from the Global Village VBB. I'll be sending it along as soon as I finish reading her other choice.
