Written in the first person through the eyes of a 6 year old girl as she travels with her Mother to Marrakesh in the late 60s. "...plenty to dine out on, or...turn into a best selling first novel." The Guardian 05.04.03. Written through the eyes of a six year old girl, this is the remarkable story of two sisters taken on the trail to Marrakech during the late sixties by their well meaning hippy mother. This is the age of flower power and 'majoun', of long hair and crushed pink velvet trousers, of cafans, mint tea, hennaed hair and Crosby Stills and Nash. Semi-autobiographical, Esther Freud's skill as both writer and reader in successfully managing to create a quality of innocence without falling into the trap of sentimentality is both effortless and entirely convincing. "......Instantly you will be first of all charmed, then intrigued and finally moved by this fascinating story." The Spectator. Abridged - 2 Cassettes - 3 hrs app. ISBN: 9781901768206 or 1901768201
