In Morocco

In this lyrical travel memoir, the author invites listeners on a whirlwind journey across Morocco at a moment of rare transition. After the turmoil of war, she races from the bustling ports of Casablanca to the ancient walls of Fez, the soaring peaks of the High Atlas, and the sun‑kissed streets of Marrakech, all within a single month. Her observations are colored by the practical constraints of wartime travel—delayed steamers, scarce fuel, and the looming rainy season—yet they reveal a country where medieval life still clings to the landscape.

The narrative blends personal curiosity with a keen eye for architecture, markets, and the diverse peoples who call the region home. As roads and railways begin to open, the author senses a fleeting glimpse of a Morocco that will soon be reshaped by modern tourism. Listeners will hear the echo of bustling souks, the quiet of secluded mountain villages, and the subtle tension between tradition and the approaching future.
