Headline Review

review 1: I read this novel in anticipation of my upcoming trip to Morocco. The story is wonderful, and the descriptions of Morocco and its people are excellent. It is the story of Sidonie O’Shea, a woman from upstate New York who lives a quiet life. She is drawn to travel to Morocco for reasons that we don’t learn about until the middle of the book - - a mystery that is intriguing and is used as a vehicle for creating well-rounded characters that we care about as we learn the secrets of their lives. In the end, it is a love story - - love of people, love of place, love of life. It is about following your passions, and being open to discover new and unexpected avenues to happiness. I'm glad I read this book.
review 2: I really enjoyed the descriptions of Morocc... moreo and women's lives there. Like the author's books about India, she makes me see the colors and feel like I'm actually there. The story itself is rather weak, but she made it into a mystery, and it kept me going to the end. Like her other books, I guessed how it would end less than halfway through, but I still enjoyed it. There were enough twists to keep me avidly reading. My biggest complaint is for the first 2/3 of the book, the heroine is constantly too distressed to eat, sleep, walk, etc. I got tired of her overwhelming dysfunctional emotions. less
