Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Pamela Windo chronicles her love of Morocco and its people by painting this literary homage to the country in her heart
Zohra’s Ladder and Other Stories
What you need to know before your trail
In this collection of short stories, this is the literary equivalent of the dance of the seven veils with each chapter revealing a new face, a new side to the country few have been to as Pamela has.
She writes about what the tourists don’t see and the people she meets along the way. Her stories are honest, raw and truthful but they paint a fascinating view of a country changing before her very eyes.
Travel Guide
These stories not only evoke the landscape and people of Morocco but the colours, spices, fragrances and aromas of the country.
An afternoon at the Hammam
Inside the hammam where woman leave their scarves and djellabas at the door and where they meet to talk and relax away from men. The rituals these women perform are fascinating from the smell of the room and the feel of the sludge clay paste they put in their hair…
The Desert Sky; In Search of the Argan Tree
Pamela shows us the golden-amber dunes of the desert – but also the feeling of this colour, the smell of the sand, the feeling of it on your feet. The winds and the patterns it makes on the vast sandy areas.So evocative and immersive. The landscape is one of colours and contrasts.
The medina in Pilgrimages to the Post Office; Observing Processions; The Days of Ramadan
Lushioulsy described as a theater of colour and spice with the constant crowds, the lack of order yet the sense of magic that pervades. Pamela tells us that it’s a mix of Mercedes cars and mangy mules missing each other by a hair’s breadth; exotic enticing aromas mixing with the stench of animal and vegetable debris.
