Fez really is a most extraordinary city. I hope you and your readers get the chance to visit it sometime. Every time I return, it reminds me anew of all the things that are now missing from many lives in the West, like a sense of community and the beauty of handmade objects in everyday use.
Comment by Suzanna Clarke May 11, 2010 @ 3:45 amThis looks like an interesting read. Here is my teaser for this week.
Comment by Beth May 11, 2010 @ 6:06 amHi Suzanna! How exciting to have an author drop by my blog. I’m really enjoying the book. I haven’t been able to put it down all week. I hope to be able to visit Morrocco someday. I currently live in South Korea and am travelling around the far east. If you are interested, there are tons of pictures on my blog from travels around here.

Ah…that sounds perfect. And very like the neighborhood where I lived while I studied abroad in Spain. And that cover art! Gorgeous. Great teaser!
