Book Reviews of Zohra's Ladder: And Other Moroccan Tales
Book Review: Great stories
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is recommended by Lonely Planet so I bought it before setting off to Morocco last month. While using their recommendations to find places to stay and things to do, I kept reading the stories as I went along and found myself more in tune with the people around me. The stories gave me a sense of reality and honesty, as well as a sense of humour that is vital while travelling.
Summary of Zohra's Ladder: And Other Moroccan Tales
Zohra's Ladder is a wondrous collection of tales about Morocco that immerses the reader in a world of ritual and deep sensuality. Pamela Windo chronicles her long love affair with the country and its people, peeling back layers of history and the finely embroidered fabric of daily life to find the truths in the mysterious and the exotic. Her stories describe the colours, flavours, sounds and textures of an almost dream-like place: a world of fleeting affairs, unexpected warmth, and subtle moments in shadowed courtyards. The results are liberating and uplifting portraits of the places and people she encounters on her seven year travels, told with extraordinary delicacy.Travel Books
