A dozen years is barely a batting of an eyelash in the history of Fez. So don't feel this book is dated because it is 12 or 15 years old. Ms Clarke's reaction, and that of her husband to Fez was profound and life changing. Their decision to purchase and restore an old Riad in the heart of the Medina took a rare mix of courage, recklessness, determination and successful enterprise. My wife and I have only been to Fez once, and it was perhaps the most memorable part of a month long independent ramble through Morocco. We were enchanted by the artistic and cultural pungency of the city. The author went one better and nearly went native after a fashion. Despite the headwinds of local government bureaucracy and cultural barriers on both sides of the equation, the foreigners' dedication to respectful preservation and willingness to admire and embrace the city's customs and spirit earn respect and support. The craftsmen and workers employed in the project became their friends as well as their employees. It's a charming tale. One worth recording. While I wish there were more illustrations, one can find much that is pertinent on their websites and other Moroccan sources.Her book is not just about architecture, but weaves in a lot of her experiences in getting to know and be known by a wide range of Moroccans and a few expats. It is a thoughtful and worthwhile journey
I truly enjoyed this book, and the people in it were interesting and likable. I like Suzanna's writing style, and enjoyed the cultural information that is included throughout the book. I also very much enjoyed the descriptions of the riad and the renovations. I was disappointed that the blog mentioned in the book appears to have been reincarnated as more a commercial venture than the personal blog that I imagine it was while the book was being written. I visited, hoping to see photos of the riad and the renovations, etc., but was unable to find anything like that buried in the newish blog.As someone else mentioned, the Kindle version of this book is an absolute mess. It badly needs to be edited. Randomly interspersed throughout sentences are fragments that include the book title and page numbers. If this had happened once or twice it could be overlooked, but there are many instances where a sentence is interrupted by the title and page number. There are many missing words, and other typographical and editorial errors, as well.
I picked up a copy of 'A House in Fez' prior to traveling to Fez myself. Suffice it to say, Clarke is a brave soul for undertaking the task of refurbishing a traditional Moroccan rehab, but you can read more about that yourselves. Clarke approaches expatriate life in Morocco with care, sensitive to the many issues involved when a foreigner from a wealthier country inserts themselves into the heart of a rich culture that is in many ways under attack. At many points throughout this read, I felt as if I were at the Riad myself, experiencing the chaos alongside the author. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in traditional Morocco and/or traveling to Fez itself.
My husband and I love to travel internationally, and have traveled on our own to some pretty exotic places. We have toyed with the idea of buying a house somewhere outside the United States. This book presents pros and cons for doing so, regardless of where one is thinking of having a home abroad.I appreciate the way Suzanna Clarke describes her experiences without becoming overly self-absorbed. Au contraire, her self-deprecation is quite endearing and amusing. I particularly liked reading about the relationships she formed with all kinds of people; from expats, to her neighbors, bureaucrats and workers. She certainly got it right from the beginning – you can't buy and restore a home in a place like like Fez without an inshallah attitude, which she and her husband seemed to completely embrace.Our next trip is to Morocco, and I'm very glad I read this book. It is well written and fast paced. The enjoyment of the reading experience is enhanced by the rich and interesting context one receives into Fez and Morocco through her commentary about culture, architecture, history, and religion. And I enjoyed following up reading the book with the visuals on Suzanna's blog.Although I loved reading about Suzanna's experience, I could not in my wildest dreams ever imagine buying a house in Fez and living the drama she described. But kudos to her and her husband for their perseverance. I hope that their cultural immersion continues to be the amazingly rich and zany life experience they had hoped for, and then some!
An Australian couple visit Fez, Morocco, fall in love with the city, culture, history and architecture and decide to buy a restore an old Riad in the heart of the ancient Medina of Fez. That's where this account of a clash of cultures begins. Fez Morocco is not only geographically foreign, it is of another past time. The very essence of life is at least from the 19th century, if not earlier. Materials and skilled workers are in short supply. Bureaucracy is stifling. Graft and bribery rampant. And the prevailing attitude of workers, officials, and residents of this ancient city is best summed up by the ubiquitous phrase - "Insha'Allah", "God willing". Clarke is a good writer but she starts to repeat experiences and results again and again towards the end of her saga. I started this non-fiction story before visiting Fez, then picked it up and finished it after my visit. It was like a return visit a second time, which was enjoyable.
Getting ready for a trip to Morocco and this gives good descriptions about buildings and people - a lot of information it will be handy to know that would be boring reading about without the "foreigner buys and renovates house" story line. The part about "we go away for months and come back to find work not done as we expected" is a little tedious and naive, but the book gives nice insight into Morocco. Of course, I have no basis for judging accuracy.
