Chaouen

One week left until Garment of Shadows publishes! Til then I’ll be posting images from the book, with morsels of prose to go along.  You might even want to re-visit these posts after you’ve got your hands on the book.

…deep in the Rif mountains, lies a town called Chaouen. It is a sacred town built by Moors expelled from Spain—I am told it resembles Granada—with a multiplicity of mosques.

Order yours from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Recorded Books, or a signed copy from Poisoned Pen.

    Reminds me very much of the Route of the White Towns (Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos) in Andalusia.

    Oooh, is this the town now known as Chefchaouen? I remember the blue buildings from visiting it two years ago. The gorgeous purple place is like a fairy tale town.

      Yes, it’s the same place, with a dozen spellings…
