John Hopkins, drawing on his own experience in Tangier in the
mid-20th century, has written a gripping fictional Moroccan
Odyssey. If Antonio Adams had not taken complete charge of his
step-daughter's education and upbringing, no one would have ever
heard of Daisy Adams. By obliging her to perform hard physical
labour outdoors with her brother Arturo during her childhood and
adolescence, he made it possible for her to endure the rigours of
the Spartan life she was to live later on. Daisy and Arturo were
close in age. Home-educated, isolated on the ranch, they saw few
young people. They did everything together - too many things. When
Arturo returns to America and enlists in the army, he is almost
immediately posted to Morocco and, fearing for the safety of her
son, Mrs Adams decamps to Tangier with Daisy in tow. Land Without
Echoes follows the intertwining lives of strong-willed Daisy and
her Arturo against the backdrop of sweltering, thriving Morocco,
through their many misadventures and yearning to meet once again.
