Un'avventura sorprendente e straordinaria! L'autrice ha scritto questa storia in modo meraviglioso, tanto che riuscivo quasi a sentire la sabbia calda del deserto sotto i miei piedi e ad ammirare la magnificenza della terra attraverso gli occhi dei suoi personaggi. In diversi capitoli de "La Via del Sale" le sue parole erano decisamente poetiche, catturando vividamente le vite delle persone. Mentre ti accompagna nel loro viaggio, ti rendi conto di come il destino sembri spingerci lungo i molti s...

Descritto come un romanzo rosa, *La Via del Sale* potrebbe benissimo piacere ai lettori appassionati di storie d'amore, grazie alla narrazione che si sviluppa su due linee temporali distinte. Personalmente, non classificherei *La Via del Sale* come un semplice romanzo rosa. Non leggo romanzi rosa come genere principale. Per me, è un'avventura ambientata in un luogo esotico, un'esperienza educativa piacevole, un diario di viaggio... insomma, molte cose diverse. Si presta a molteplici livelli di l...

Odlična!

3.5 Stars- This book was very informative about a culture that I knew nothing about. Plus the setting was extraordinary. I think I have only ever read one other book set in Morocco. The story tells about two different women and their lives. Both women had some extraordinary events happen in their lives and they are tied together with an amulet. The ending also had an incredible twist. There were many elements that I enjoyed but this was a very lengthy book. It is listed as under 400 pages but ea...

[5/10] In the attic you will find a box with your name on it. Inside that box are what you might call ‘waymarkers’ for your life. Isobel is a successful corporate accountant in the City of London. She worked hard to achieve her position and to escape from traumatic memories of her childhood and of her dysfunctional family. Her father’s death, and an unexpected legacy, forces Isobel to confront this past and to embark on a journey to a land of myths and legends.Carrying an ancient Berber amulet w...

The cryptic letter to Isabella from her late father had me intrigued and I was excited about reading further but the story very quickly moved in a different direction to what I was expecting. Desert stories set in Africa (or anywhere in the world) are just not my thing (or so I thought) and it seemed like it was heading to a one star rating but as I continued on, without warning it reeled me in and I was hooked and as the story unfolded it blew my mind. I was spellbound by the exotic setting of ...

A beautifully written story. Set in North Africa, there are two story lines here following two women, which are set about 30 to 40 years apart from each other but they might as well have been set centuries apart. Mariata is a remarkable character creation. Her story is full of passion and strength and explores the relationship between man and nature.Her vivid, personal descriptions bring the desert to life, I’ve infact learned a lot about the North African desert tribes and their culture through...

This book does not want to be put into a single category. But if you must, you may file it under mystery, romance, adventure or travelogue.

To me, it's just a great double weave of two stories of two very different characters, set against the same backdrop.

NO spoilers!

This novel tells the stories of Isabelle Treslove-Faucet, once a wild tomboy but now a reformed, "grown up" corporate tax accountant, and the circumstances that lead her to travel to Morrocco to uncover her mysterious past, and Mariata, a Tuareg woman and desert wanderer who experiences a host of misfortunes and travails and must make a thousand-mile journey across the Sahara on foot to protect herself and her baby from an unwanted marriage. The two narratives are set about forty years apart in ...

This book has an intriguing title which doesn't give any clues to what the book is going to be about which is why I entered for it on Goodreads First Reads, and when I won and it arrived I saw the cover and I just knew it was going to be a good book. The cover gives the impression of the east, which is where the majority of the book is set. The book starts off by introducing the character Isabelle and her life so far, it is written well and we get to know the traits that Izzy has, and that the...
