Book 20: "Hideous Kinky" by Esther Freud

[kittiwake]

This is the story of a hippy single mother and her two daughters during a couple of years that they spent living in Morocco, as told by the younger daughter. It captures that atmosphere of the 1960s and the colour and life of Marrakech, but I'm not totally convinced by the narrator being such a young child - when her sister Bea insists on going to school, she is too young, so she can't be more than 5 or 6 at most.

But it's an enjoyable and quick read, only 186 pages long.
