For all these reasons, I would recommend reading the series from the beginning. I felt happy for Clemence when it appears she may have a second chance of happiness, something she had lost hope of many years before.

Vicky makes new friends along the way - Jimmy and Tom who also live there but the year is 1966 and politics, police and corruption are greatly involved in the country and it seems no one is safe . I admired Clemence as a character, particularly her dedication to caring for her mother, Madeleine, whose mental decline is not only a result of age but of the cruelty she suffered at the hands of Clemence's father, the full details of which gradually emerge.

Excited to meet her grandmother, Vicky decides on a trip to Marrakech and even invites her cousin Bea to come . I truly enjoyed reading this book and it only took me few days to finish it . As she admits at one point, 'She had prided herself on never being a crybaby. And altho he seems like a sweet gentleman he actually hides horrible secrets.

Vicky also meets Patrice Callier, an old friend and admirer of her grandmother. I loved reading Night Train to Marrakech.

By the way, if you're expecting (as I was) to be spending time aboard the train mentioned in the title, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed because it features only very briefly at the beginning of the book. Set in the 1960s, the lead character, Vicky, travels to Morocco to meet her grandmother, hoping to find the answers to some of the events of her childhood.
