Tangier Twilight J. V. Stevenson

Sometime in the seventies, two young men - a writer and a doctor - spend 'a winter residence at Tangier'. They do indeed 'bring introductions' and are soon 'meeting the English and American colony': an assembly of rampant originals, eccentrics and down-at-heel refugees. The two are quickly caught up in the hectic expatriate round, as well as the vibrant and contradictory life of Tangier itself, classic crossroads of East and West. Five years later, they return, to find things changing fast. The brutal, modern world has begun to intrude. The celebrated Tangier twilight that had so captivated them on their first visit now looks set to give way to the brash new dawn of a far less picturesque era. . .
