The hot dusty winds, souks and riads and the Sahara Desert have inspired countless movies and trips, including my own journey there in 2014, when I spent a very chilly New Year’s Eve in the Sahara Desert. What is it about Morocco that we love so much? Having spent several weeks in Morocco, and more recently in southern Spain, I admit to a breathless fascination with all things Moorish. Previous book club picks have included Alice Morrison’s “Morocco to Timbuktu” (May 2021) and Vendela Vida’s “The Diver’s Clothes Lie Empty” which focused on Casablanca (September 2022). This isn’t our first book on Morocco - in fact, it’s our third. Tangerine is an extraordinary debut, so tightly wound, so evocative of 1950s Tangier, and so cleverly plotted that it will leave you absolutely breathless.Our March book of the month, Tangerine, is a gripping psychological literary thriller set in 1950s Tangier, Morocco. Then Alice's husband, John, goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind. Lucy, always fearless and independent, helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country.īut soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice - she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco, too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat.
But Lucy is standing there, trying to make things right.
After the horrific accident at Bennington, the two friends - once inseparable roommates - haven't spoken in over a year. The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason.
