In an old stone house on the west coast of Morocco, Sarah Henderson is welcomed by its inhabitants: Nick the aristocratic English owner, Yann the French Sailor, and Aziz, with whom she falls passionately in love. Sarah must reconsider her own actions and those of her mother, who came to this town in 1936 and was sent home in disgrace.

A timely and engaging book,
By
This review is from: The House in Morocco (Hardcover)
Clearly Rosalind Brackenbury knows her subject well: Moroccan Arab life as seen through the eyes of an American woman. At a time when we all are wondering what makes Arabs tick, Ms Brackenbury places us in their sandals. Aspects of daily life are explored in colorful and compelling detail. In one episode I experienced walking past men in an Arab woman's clothing. This unforgetable cross-cultural journey is rendered with a suble passion that pulled me into the heat of the drama making my heart beat and my breath quicken. Get this book if you want to enjoy yourself while you learn about a neglected culture.

Reflective and engaging,
By Elish (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The House in Morocco (Hardcover)
The writer shows sensitivity to her subject as she spins an engaging story of an American woman's experience in Morocco. She raises thought-provoking questions on the nature of tourism and the privileges of those who are able to leave - Americans, Europeans, vs. those who stay behind and often pay a high price for their indiscretions. She clearly knows her subject. I recommend this for anyone planning a visit to Morocco...
