The stunning photographs and evocative text in this volume capture
the essence of Tangier life from the 1920s to the present day. Paul
and Jane Bowles, the American painter Marguerite McBay, Woolworth
heiress Barbara Hutton, playwright Tennessee Williams, royal
photographer Cecil Beaton, and the painters Claudio Bravo and
Patrick Procktor are some of the legendary residents of this
Moroccan port city portrayed in these reminiscences and candid
portraits. Personal family photographs depict the extravagant
parties hosted and attended by the author and her circle. The
evolution of design and style in some of the great houses as they
changed ownership is documented, demonstrating how the composition
of life in this archetypal city unfolded throughout the 20th
century.
