About this product

Product Information

By turns hilarious and harrowing, this work by an acclaimed English travel writer is the story of his family's move from the gray skies of London to the sun-drenched city of Casablanca, where Islamic tradition and African folklore converge--and nothing is as easy as it seems.

Very entertaining and informative
This book is very entertaining. I am preparing for a trip to Morocco and have been reading a lot, most of it nonfiction/anthropological. This provided a lot of comedic relief yet was consistent with what I had read about the culture there
