Sobre IBD

The Walls of Villa Fatema follows the unexpected journey of an American girl who finds herself a guest in a traditional Moroccan family’s home in Casablanca, the port city made famous by the classic film starring Humphrey Bogart.By turns humorous and unsettling, this memoir by Avery Russell captures Alice’s struggle to navigate - and sometimes ignore - the complexities of a sex-segregated society.Rich in detail and cultural insight, the book offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of women in 1960s Morocco and explores the tension and fascination that arise when two very different worlds collide.
