A House in Fez - now available in the UK



Suzanna Clarke's best seller A House in Fez, is now available in the UK. Published in Britain by Ebury Press (Random House). The book is a paperback version of the Australian collectors' edition, which sold out in six weeks. The English edition does not have as many photographs as the Australian (Penguin) version, but nevertheless is a great insight into Moroccan culture, music, cuisine and daily life.

The American (paperback) version will come out from Simon and Schuster in New York in November, a reprint in Australia will be available in December and the Korean language version should be in print some time soon.
A House in Fez is a journey into Moroccan culture, revealing its day-to-day rhythms, its customs and festivals; its history, Islam, and Sufi rituals; the lore of djinns and spirits; the vibrant life-filled market places and the irresistible Moroccan cuisine. And above all, into the lives of the people - warm, friendly, and hospitable.

Beautifully descriptive and infused with an extraordinary sense of place, this is a compelling account of one couple's adventures in ancient Morocco. - Random House
The British edition has been "perfect partnered" on Amazon UK with Fez (Lonely Planet Encounter) by Helen Ranger and Virginia Maxwell.
