Casablanca¿s stinking alleys are the only home that nineteen-year-old Youssef El-Mekki has ever known.

Until, that is, the father he thought dead turns out to be very much alive. A high profile businessman with wealth to burn, Nabil is disenchanted with his daughter and eager to take in the boy he never knew. Soon Youssef is installed in his penthouse and sampling the gold-plated luxuries enjoyed by Casablanca¿s elite. But as he leaves the slums of his childhood behind him, he comes up against a starkly un-glittering reality" - SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR - Pictures of the book are available upon request. . As New.
