I'm in Essaouira where I've just happily devoured "Zohra's Ladder." -- Hamish M. Brown, Scottish writer, June 2005

The good thing about this is the author manages to avoid the cliches usually associated with the Arab-Muslim world. -- Morocco Times, July 16, 2005

This is definitely refreshing summer reading, a well deserved rest before the next wave of books on Islam and terror. -- Morocco Times, July 16, 2005

Your works give readers fascinating insights into life in Morocco and attest to your deep passion for my country. -- His Majesty the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, July 2005

Synopsis:

Zohra's Ladder is a wondrous collection of stories of Moroccan life that offer a privileged immersion into a world of deep sensuality. Pamela Windo chronicles her unexpected love affair with the country and its people, peeling back layers of history, of paint, of finely embroidered fabric to find the truths in the mysterious and the exotic. She describes the colours, flavours, songs and textures of an almost dream-like place. Her stories are of snatched affairs, unforeseen warmth, subtle eroticism in shadowed courtyards. The result are liberating and uplifting portraits of the places and people she finds told with an extraordinary delicacy. Behind the veils, she discovers kindness, beauty, and passion that afford her life a whole new dimension.
