Night Train to Marrakech - Dinah Jefferies, Author

Grandissimo ritmo narrativo e colpi di scena in questo romanzo, bollente come il sole del deserto, mi hanno tenuta incollata alla storia come non mi succedeva da tempo. I enjoyed the relationship which developed between her and Vicky and how this, although it exposed them both (and others) to danger, ultimately allowed for past losses to be properly mourned, and for interfamilial rifts to be healed. Vicky is to stay in an apartment in the town with Clemence's friend Etta, while she waits for her cousin Beatrice to arrive from London. It is a safe, easy way to undertake the tedious journey halfway across Morocco and sleep through most of it. It's also a fantastic base for exploring the rest of the country, not least because of its excellent railway connections.L’arrivo alla Kasbah du Paradis di Vicky, nipote di Clemence nonché figlia di Victor – eroe e martire della Resistenza – l’uomo che Madeleine ha inspiegabilmente abbandonato da neonato in Francia per fuggire in Marocco, scatenerà una serie di situazioni terribili e pericolose che metteranno in pericolo tutti, incluse le persone a loro vicine, perché i segreti troppo a lungo taciuti verranno drammaticamente alla luce. When she finds out from her grandfather, that she has a grandmother who is alive and well and living in Morocco she decides to visit and meet her grandmother Clemence, and find out why she sent her father away as a baby with her grandfather. Zum einen zieht es die Nachwuchsdesignerin dorthin, weil sie ihr Idol Yves Saint Laurent dort treffen will, zum anderen will sie ihre dort ansässige Großmutter Clemence kennenlernen, von deren Existenz sie bis vor kurzem noch gar nichts wusste. What follows is an exciting story covering kidnap, murder, family members finding out about themselves and their true parentage, all set under the sultry sun. Briefly, arriving at her grandmothers kasbah Vicky is upset to find herself less than welcome and her grandmother sends her back to Marrakech to stay with a friend.
