Not sure if just the translation (read the English version), but there is a real efficiency of language in this book that I really enjoyed. Despite this it is very evocative, the smell of scenes coming right off the page, the quotes on the dustcover are fitting, is a very sensual novel in that respect.

This is a touching story of young love that, at first, seems to build superficially but ultimately morphs into a genuine romance stifled by class dynamics in Casablanca. A fascinating look into 90s Morocco!
