In addition to being an invaluable travel resource - Stealing Fatima’s
Hand is an unforgettable collection of interconnected narratives
presenting an alternative view of Morocco – a country not of
labyrinthine alleys, Kasbahs, and smoky tea rooms – but a more madcap
Morocco, one left to be discovered after all the coach tours depart.
Unconventional and candid – Stealing Fatima’s Hand stands out as an
irreverent black sheep in the literary travel genre, succeeding in
undoing for Morocco everything that Peter Mayle has done for Provence.
The book spans two years of Carolyn’s experiences in Rabat, where with
humor and honesty she struggles with Moroccan bureaucracy, sexual
harassment, the threat of terrorism, devious students, randy co-
teachers, and the temptation of having French pastries washed down
with gin and tonics for every meal. All this in a country, where apart
from her, the only vegetarians are the sheep and the goats.
