About this listen

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.

The outcome of the various threads of the story may be predictable but the journey to reach them is a good one. I love the way Rosanna Ley weaves the storylines with well researched histories, locations and plenty of the details that have you right there seeing it all in your minds eye.
I've enjoyed all the books of Ms Ley that I've listened to.
Nicely read too.

Great Locations

Loved the way Then and Now Stories came together. How the chance meeting of 2 people can become entwined in history so that by chance the next generation meet by a mutual love of Saffron and Morocco! ! I was drawn to the smells and the sounds of Morocco that I have put it on my To Visit List.
The story was compelling and the Narrator had the charecters sounding so realistic you forget it is just one voice.

BEAUTIFULLY WOVEN STORY

I think I learnt more about Saffron in this book than I could ever have done by reading about it in a cookery book. I loved the way the characters came alive as the story went on, and the plot developed, one twist after another, keeping me reading when I should have been doing something else!

Very well narrated, clear and sensitive to emotions. Descriptions of Moroccan food and culture were excellent and the storyline and characters were just perfect for easy listening.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

loved being transformed back to Morroco (as I've been there 4 times and have Morrocan friends ).
Atmospheric with an interesting twist.
My home town is near Saffron Walden which was famous for its saffron in the middle ages.

Great to learn more about saffron.
