About this deal

I can’t understand why the book was titled the Night Train as it was only the way the protagonist travelled and had no relevance to the book. It’s an epic journey that’ll take her to the edge of Atlas Mountains – and closer to the answers she’s been craving all her life. A few weeks ago I was given the chance to read Night Train to Marrakech by Dinah Jefferies. This is the final book in the sweeping historical series from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author, Dinah Jefferies. It follows The Daughters of War and The Hidden Palace which I have previously read and reviewed. The interaction between grandmother and granddaughter, both of whom want a relationship but don’t quite know how to achieve it, is intriguing, and the supporting cast of characters are all interesting (especially to readers who have read the previous books in the trilogy). The twists in the tale aren’t particularly surprising, but the pacing is good and it is an interesting end to the “Daughters of War” series.

Why yes! Yes, there is a train from Marrakech to Fes. In fact, there are several trains that run daily from Marrakech to Fes, so you’ll have options to choose from as well as seat types. But no worries, we’ll get to all of that just below. Siamo in Marocco nel 1966, il Paese sta vivendo un momento di grandi riforme politiche ma si trova al centro delle mire delle nazioni che un tempo ne erano i colonizzatori. Corruzione e spionaggio sono all’ordine del giorno e uomini senza scrupoli decidono le sorti del gioco non disdegnando omicidi e rapimenti. It is set in Morocco in the sixties when there was a good deal of political tension of which I knew very little. So it was interesting to learn from the narrative about this era and country. The author’s research has really paid off as the descriptions are very vivid. The sights and smells and life in the souks and Riads are so well written that it is easy to imagine yourself transported there. It was also refreshing to have a romantic love story about a couple in their seventies. If you like the idea of leaving when you want, stopping when you want, and sharing a ride only with your significant other, family, or friends, consider booking a private transfer from Marrakech to Fes. Now, this option is not for those short on time (flying would be best for you!). However, if you have the time and enjoy traveling slowly and seeing the countryside, the train from Marrakech to Fes is a great option!The total journey on the night train from Marrakech to Tangier is about 9 hours. In the reverse direction ( to Marrakech ), the train takes about 10 hours. This is a loose estimate. Trains in Morocco are fairly reliable, but this route can occasionally be faster or take a little longer.

If the train from Marrakech to Fes doesn’t seem like the right fit for you, understand you have other transportation options to choose from. This is your trip, so you do you! Marrakech To Fes By Bus I didn’t realise that this was the third part of a trilogy. I had read the first of the three novels but not the second in the series but this did not affect my enjoyment. It’s a good stand alone novel. A world of stunning beauty and extreme danger . . . Dinah Jefferies is at the top of her game' GILL PAUL Although this is the third part of the ‘Daughters of war’ series, I didn’t feel I had missed out by not having read the previous books. I felt the three sisters from those books appeared in this story mainly in supporting roles, providing little details as necessary and relevant. Opting to stop in either Casablanca or Rabat is a great way to break up the train trip to Fes if you have the time!

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a novel of this type but it didn't intrigue me, captivate or entance me. A stirring, richly-imagined novel about bravery and love and family loyalty tested to its limits' RACHEL RHYS It is typical sweeping, family saga stuff with a murder and plenty of injuries thrown in, along with secrets which are so easy to guess, and an emphasis on love, mostly tortured love and terrible circumstances. There are estrangement, lots of references to political unrest and a 90+ year old mother suffering from dementia.We’re Lauren & Jesse Stuart aka The Stu’s from the Wandering Stus travel blog!
