The Storyteller of Marrakesh by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya

An enigmatic pair of lovers arrives at Marrakesh’s Jemaa el Fna square, captivates merchants and onlookers, and mysteriously disappears.  Hassan the storyteller, whose brother is implicated in the crime, relates the event, while his listeners interrupt, giving their own memories and interpretations.  As the story progresses, fascinating details are revealed about the city of Marrakesh, its visitors and inhabitants.
