Description
Zohra's Ladder is a wondrous collection of stories of Moroccan life that offer a privileged immersion into a world of deep sensuality. Pamela Windo chronicles her unexpected love affair with the country and its people, peeling back layers of history, of paint, of finely embroidered fabric to find the truths in the mysterious and the exotic. She describes the colours, flavours, songs and textures of an almost dream-like place. Her stories are of snatched affairs, unforeseen warmth, subtle eroticism in shadowed courtyards. The result are liberating and uplifting portraits of the places and people she finds told with an extraordinary delicacy. Behind the veils, she discovers kindness, beauty, and passion that afford her life a whole new dimension.
