WHAT TANGIER REMEMBERS ia a novel of gossip, loyalty, reinvention and secrets. Tangier, 1985.
A city suspended between continents. A place where aristocrats, artists, adventurers, exiles and dreamers gather beneath the North African sun, each carrying a past they would rather leave behind.
When Father George Andrews, an unemployed Anglican priest from a quiet English village, accepts a post at St Andrew's Church in Tangier, he arrives with his wife Mary and their beautiful eighteen-year-old daughter Rosemary, expecting little more than a change of scenery.
Instead, they find themselves drawn into one of the most extraordinary expatriate communities in the world.
At its centre stands the Honourable David Herbert, second son of the Earl of Pembroke, whose villa has become a meeting place for princes, countesses, journalists, socialites and eccentrics from every corner of Europe. Around him revolves a glittering society where fortunes are made and lost over luncheon, where friendships endure for decades, and where gossip travels faster than the wind.
As Rosemary's beauty begins to attract attention, hidden ambitions emerge, old rivalries resurface, and long-buried secrets threaten carefully constructed lives. In a city built upon reinvention, the past is never quite as distant as it appears.
Rich in wit, elegance and unforgettable characters, What Tangier Remembers is both a love letter to Tangier and a portrait of a vanished world that still lingers in the city's cafés, villas and winding streets.
For readers who enjoy the social observation of Julian Fellowes, the elegance of Nancy Mitford, and the mystery and intrigue of Agatha Christie, What Tangier Remembers offers an enchanting journey into one of the most fascinating cities on earth.
Because some memories refuse to disappear.
