About this title: In 1954, Moroccan resistance to French rule is reaching boiling point, and only four English-speaking visitors are left at a hotel in the medieval city of Fez. To Amar, a young Moslem, they are enticing, and as the rebellion grows he believes he is helped by knowing the inner feelings of others.

"Chapters 17-20 and 27 were my favorites. It had lovely, rich descriptions of Fez and of the Moroccan culture. The characters were vibrant and very human, but the plot left something to be desired."
"it is worth making it through the beginning, it opens into a book that you don't want to end. well developed characters, well developed story. self exploration, cultural exploration."
