Dinah Jefferies has been a favourite author of mine, since 2014 when her debut novel 'The Separation'. was published. Over the years she has transported me with her vivid descriptive prose to some wonderful locations, some which I have been lucky enough to visit and other places I now wish to see for myself. This time it was to Morocco, somewhere I have been fortunate to visit and her descriptions are certainly evocative of my time spent there.

The story continues as Vicky, one of the younger generation of the Baudin family, travels to Marrakech to meet her grandmother for the first time. A dangerous place in the sixties, the visit turns out to be quite an adventure. Bringing together protagonists from the earlier books this final volume of the trilogy reveals some long hidden family secrets.

As with the previous volumes in this trilogy, it is a captivating read that transports the reader to Morocco which I can recommend to anyone that enjoys an immersive read. It stands alone but I feel more enjoyable if you have read the earlier novels.
