A not quite retired couple leave their grown children to experience a bit of the exotic life. While they experiment with the culture of Morocco and try to stay out of trouble, they discover much more than the trinkets in the markets. Their heart open to the people, terrain, religion and experience all the cultural clash as imagined. But when things really get weird in that sunny, sandy country, they become much more than tourists. They become – involved. Using what can only be described as good old American know how, they inveigle, connive, convince and manage to become emissaries in a most comical way. Parker’s descriptions of this area of the world are breathtaking and the imagination to create the events is enthralling. An advanced copy of this book was provided for an honest review. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Kingdom of Morocco is a quiet, conservative country. At least it was before Karly Winfield arrived. Her best years may be in the rearview mirror, but buxom Karly can still turn heads. Traveling with her portly husband, from the exotic suuqs of Marrakech to the High Atlas Mountains to medieval Fes, Karly leaves a trail of cultural faux pas in her wake as the middle-aged couple bickers its way across North Africa. However, impressions change when the Winfields encounter strange phenomena in the lonely and ancient village of Tiz Tisgui, located high in the barren mountains of central Morocco. In this isolated locale that evokes a prior age, villagers believe in Jinn and other supernatural beings, while incorporating their steadfast Islamic faith into their humble daily existence. Without warning, science, religion, and everything in between begin to collide in unexpected ways. Even the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Morocco and the President of the United States are unable to stave off catastrophe. The best they can hope for is to somehow contain the ensuing damage. In the aftermath of the events they were unexpectedly thrust into, Morocco in general and Karly Winfield in particular, find themselves changed, down to their very cores. Neither will ever be the same. When Worlds Collide is, in turn, a travelogue, a mystery, and a comedy. But, most importantly, it's about being human and learning to coexist.

Once they enter the small town of Tiz Tisgul, the Moslem men call Kent and Karly witches when weird, geological anomalies suddenly take place, and after Kent pulls a dead body out of a tourist cave. Their riat manager tries to tell them what the villagers think of them and why.
It isn't until the Rita's manager's wife tells them to see a science professor when they reach Fez, that they learn about the ancient Moslem superstitions of jinn and an ifirat, and their coexistence with modern scientific thought and how compatible science and religion really is. Were the Winfields on to simple tricks played by the evil jinn or is the end of the earth as we know it absolutely imminent? Will the Winfields be kicked out of Morrocco before their sight seeing is over? Only by reading this treasure will you find out for sure. You will love every bit of it as much as I did!
