From the inner flap:

After the publication of his first novel, Sandel, Angus Stewart went to Tangier to escape ‘orthodox Western living’, and, with very little money, plunged immediately into a captivating alien world.

His Tangier is not the picturesque town of the tourists, nor indeed the superficial scene of squalor and deprivation sometimes observed by journalists. Instead he shows how within their own terms the people of Tangier live, and how their individual customs and perceptions have been shaped out of a decidedly tortuous history.
