About this listen

‘The desert hides dark secrets…’

MARRAKECH 1966

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 . . .

Couldn’t stop listening, a great continuation of The Daughters of War, sorry that it has ended.

Loved it!

I enjoyed the plot line, but i found the character of Vicky very irritating. It would have been better if the narrators had used accents, as all characters, whether French, American or Moroccan all had English accents.

Good descriptions of Morocco

Just a few pages in I wanted to return this book, unfortunately I was "not allowed" and so I have listened. The narration was awful and I did begin to wonder if this book had been edited. Had I read the book rather than listened I might have been tempted to write on the pages and edit the book myself. So many words and of so little interest. It truly was the most boring book I have listened to in a very long while and I am slightly annoyed I couldn't send it back.

underwhelming

Needs a good edit to thin out the irrelevant detail and continuous repetition of the plot. Over use of descriptive image clichés
The narrator did a sterling job to keep me going to the end but it was a close call

Repetitive
