This Christmas Vox Humana Books will be releasing Carolyn A. Thériault's new and exciting travel memoir: "Stealing Fatima’s Hand – A Moroccan Sojourn" Release Date: Stealing Fatima’s Hand ISBN: 978-965-7504-00-0 338 pages For review copies, please contact: Philip Hyams: publisher@voxhumana- books.com www.voxhumana-blogs.com In addition to being an invaluable travel resource - Stealing Fatima’s Hand is an unforgettable collection of interconnected narratives presenting an alternative view of Morocco – a country not of labyrinthine alleys, Kasbahs, and smoky tea rooms – but a more madcap Morocco, one left to be discovered after all the coach tours depart. Unconventional and candid – Stealing Fatima’s Hand stands out as an irreverent black sheep in the literary travel genre, succeeding in undoing for Morocco everything that Peter Mayle has done for Provence. The book spans two years of Carolyn’s experiences in Rabat, where with humor and honesty she struggles with Moroccan bureaucracy, sexual harassment, the threat of terrorism, devious students, randy co- teachers, and the temptation of having French pastries washed down with gin and tonics for every meal. All this in a country, where apart from her, the only vegetarians are the sheep and the goats.[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
