From the 1 internationally bestselling author of The Moment and Five Days comes the best book about Morocco since The Sheltering Sky. Completely absorbing and atmospheric Philip Kerr. Robin Danvers has just crossed that dreaded milestone marked forty. Though bruised by much in her past—a charming, but feckless father a cold, distant mother a sad first marriage—she is still hopeful. An accountant who actually loves the numerical mess of other peoples lives, she took a risk two years ago when she married a client, who, it turns out, is the embodiment of the raffishly bohemian artist she had always dreamed of. Indeed Paul is very much the aging hippybut a talented one. A professor of art and an accomplished purveyor of intricate line drawings, he brings a discipline to his visual work that is contradicted by his need for chaos.
