1966: ‘The desert hides dark secrets…’
Vicky Baudin steps onto a train winding through Morocco, looking for the grandmother she has never met.
It’s an epic journey that’ll take her to the edge of Atlas Mountains – and closer to the answers she’s been craving all her life.
But dark secrets whisper amongst the dunes. And in unlocking the mystery of Clemence’s past, Vicky will unearth great danger too . . .
Morocco and Marrakech
Despite the title of the book, there is only a brief glimpse of a train at the beginning of the book. This is a story about family and hope although Morocco culture and setting does play a big part. The locations are vague and fictional in the most part such as the kasbah in the Atlas Mountains, but you get a really good sense of the majestic nature of these mountains. You can imagine the kind of kasbah they stay in.
