Exploring the beautiful country of Morocco and looking for ways to get from Marrakech to Fes (also spelled Fez)? Mein Fazit: das war ein wunderschönes Buch, eine tolle Mischung aus Thriller, Familiensaga und Lovestory, und das vor dem faszinierenden exotischen Hintergrund des Marrakeschs der 60er Jahre. It's an epic journey that'll take her to the edge of Atlas Mountains - and closer to the answers she's been craving all her life. I have read only one other book by Dinah Jefferies, also via the Pigeonhole platform, and I rated The Tea Planter's Wife at 5 stars. Then Vicki’s cousin Bea arrives to stay with her and shortly afterward the two girls witness a shocking event.Vicky found out recently from an older relative that she had a grandmother , who she had never met, living in Marrakech.
