My Moroccan Boy: Part One

By Leo Lloyd

A heartfelt LGBTQ+ taboo love story about finding new hope in life after devastating grief.

Across oceans, years, and sorrow, two souls from different worlds collide - one weighed down with loss, the other brimming with life - in an unexpected romance that bridges time and tradition.

Will their budding friendship lead to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace a future neither imagined possible?

Lost on a walk in Ourika valley near Marrakesh, a grieving young Englishman encounters a local teenager who wants to be his guide. But is all as it seems in a culture where so much is forbidden, where even the wrong word can lead to serious consequences?

Inspired by real events, this gay Muslim multicultural age-gap romance set in Morocco and its Amazigh (Berber) culture south of Marrakesh is a noteable read for fans of Abdellah Taia, Mohsin Zaidi, Samra Habib and Sara Farizan. Suitable for over 16s.

"A compelling tale of grief, healing and forbidden love"

- N. Chamchoun, acclaimed British Moroccan author of Covid: the Wordy Wilds of a Mind Under Lockdown.
