Once there was a girl who loved saffron. She loved its secrets and its mystery, and best of all she loved its hint of magic.

After the death of her beloved mother, Nell travels from rural Cornwall to the colour and chaos of Marrakech. Her marriage may be on the rocks, but exploring the heady delights of Moroccan cuisine could help her fulfil her dream of opening her own restaurant.

It's there she meets Amy - a young photographer trying to unravel the story behind her family's involvement in the Vietnam War. The two women develop a close friendship and discover a surprising connection between their own pasts.

I felt like I was in Morocco, the way the writer wrote, I could hear, smell, taste and see everything she wrote about Morocco and I was really drawn into the story.

fantastic story - has it been made into a film yet? Most of the reading was great but the Moroccan sections were marred by distracting accents that didn't flow. Worth listening to, all the same

First time I have listened to a story by this author, it was a predictable but easy listening story. The narrator was good too.

This story was a nice change with fascinating insights into saffron and its history. As a listen the male characters would have been much more plausible read by a male voice as everyone else warned.
I had to agree, it did seriously distract but the tale was a good one .

An interesting story on unusual places and topics
