Around Morocco With Edith and Friends
In 1917, the American novelist Edith Wharton spent a month travelling in Morocco seeking ‘barbaric splendour’ and an escape from war-torn Europe. The result was In Morocco, part travelogue, part exploration of the lives of Moroccan women. Almost exactly a century later the author covered a similar route in reverse, and combines Wharton’s vivid imagery with the words of writers who followed in her footsteps and his own.
