Summary
A classic of travel writing, In Morocco is Edith Wharton's remarkable account of her journey to that country during World War I. With her characteristic sense of adventure, Wharton set out to explore Morocco and its people, traveling by military jeep to Rabat, Moulay Idriss, Fez, and Marrakech, from the Atlantic coast to the high Atlas. Along the way, she witnessed religious ceremonies and ritual dances, visited the opulent palaces of the Sultan, and was admitted to the mysterious world of his harem.

in Marocco
I loved the story line, however at times it was a bit overwhelming. Learned, got a taste of life in Marocco in a very comfortable way.

Surprising! An exceptional book.
I have read quite a few books by Edith Wharton but this one was surprising inasmuch as I had not realised that she had written travelogues.
The description and the factual content are amazing. To think she visited Morocco in 1917 and learned so much about the country then is exceptional.
The details of the history of the country are encyclopaedic but still interesting today. I learned so much from this.
However, it is not just a travel book because it is written by an all-seeing author! So she brings to life the country and its people by her vivid descriptions in intricate detail with an author's eye.
I must say the narration is exceptional and the narrator - Anna Fields - has obviously done her preparation. Well done!

a fascinating account let down by a poor narrator
Edith Wharton's account of her visit to Morocco and her remarkable achievement in summing up its complex history and the development of its art and architecture, written about a century ago, are not well served by the narrator's unpleasantly harsh voice, as well as some bizarre mispronunciations. Hence only 4 stars, rather than the 5 the text itself deserves
