Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A celebration of the rich Comment: cultural diversity of Morocco and a sympathetic portrayal of the local characters makes this book stand out from the others about buying a house in Morocco. As an anthropologist I appreciate these factors, and I learned more about Morocco than I did from reading other books about doing up a house there which seem superficial in comparison. In my book Travelling Magically: How to Turn Your Journey into a Life-changing Experience I discuss how important sensitivity to the local culture is - this book is an excellent example. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent read Comment: This is an excellent read for anyone who is interested in Morocco.This book is about two foreigners who decide to buy an old house in the medina in Fez and bring it back to its former glory. The author uses her knowledge of Moroccan culture and history as she writes. She is honest but not condesending. She writes about the people she meets along the way. I read it before I went back to Morocco and it made me very keen to go back. I would love to read more from this author. More Reviews
