Tangerinn

A novel for those who turn travelling into a badge of honor, for those who would never have left, and for those who find in staying a different kind of journey. From the profound beauty

Surrounded by the memories of her father, Omar, she seeks answers where there will be none: did she know who he really was? She recalls stories of Omar’s childhood in a poor neighbourhood in Casablanca, stories of his family, his ambitions as a teenager, his adventurous journey to Europe.
