Reviews
"...There are still those in Morocco who, as Fadel sees it, resist the pressures of the world around them through the force of their love for one another. Fadel depicts such characters in his novels: romantics and dreamers who serve as foils to the rotting, corrupt worlds they inhabit." - The New Yorker
