Reviews from Amazon:
 
I am surprised and some of the indifferent reviews here because I found this a haunting, evocative and entertaining book and on finishing it, immediately read it again, and will probably re read it in the future.


Atmospheric and descriptive, the narrator is only a young child so you can easily read between the lines to work out what is going on in the adult world. Some of it is funny and you get a really strong mental image of the look and feel of morrocco, warts and all. 


I have met people like the narrator's mother and seen small children dragged along on travel adventures. Looking at the notes it seems the book is semi autobiographical and it certainly seems to have the ring of truth in attitudes, yearning for home and normality and a kids ability to fit in and adapt to surroundings.
----------

I loved this book, it was fresh and interesting with a gentle (but never dull) plot line. The people involved were sympathetic and different, and writing from a child's point of view made the book a lot less pretentious than it could so easily have been. 

However, there were many loose ends which weren't tied up. Characters simply came and went, and although I understand that things sometimes seem that way when you're five years old, one also ends up yearning to know what happened to Marreta and her body lice, or to their friend Danny. 

But I suppose neat endings don't really fit in with the lifestyle portrayed in this book. An innovative take on the hackneyed 'road movie' style of fiction, and immensely enjoyable with it.
