It's been along while since

It's been along while since I read this book but after the negative review, I must read again. I remember her descriptions of Morocco and the people being quite fascinating but I don't remember them being racist......maybe, this world of Moroc was so far from the culture she was accustomed. Maybe this book encouraged people to visit and find out for themselves. I loved Morocco and it's people, but I also enjoyed the book back then. Moroc was the most exciting place I had been as of 2000. Maybe, we've come a long way, Baby! Let's only hope!
