The Storyteller of Casablanca ~ by Fiona Valpy, 2021, historical fiction, 305 pagesMay McConnaghy perches on the over-stuffed chaise in the drawing room and fans herself gently with the little booklet she's brought with her. "Don't worry, you'll get used to the heat. And once they get the air con working again you'll be just grand."
Two people in Morocco, one in the early 1940s and one in 2010, seventy years apart. Zoe is struggling with life when she finds a small wooden box and a diary from the 1940s under the floorboards of her daughter’s bedroom. As she reads the diary, Zoe begins to see her adopted city through Josie’s eyes.
(I also wrote about this book when I added it to my Kindle five months ago, HERE.)

That opening sounds about like our weather here this weekend. Fortunately, my AC seems to be keeping up.
