"Chase from Eden is a series of snapshots of life in Morocco during the French Protectorate. Born in France in 1924 and homeschooled in the countryside outside Rabat, the young Marguerite Pages grew up to the rhythms of her Moslem neighbors, listening to the roar of the sultan's lions at sundown, watching the chanting funeral processions from the village over the hill, and exploring cedar forests in the Atlas Mountains with her brother. When Morocco fell under enemy control, her pain at the Nazi occupation of France, the anguish of Jewish refugees sheltering in Morocco, and the high casualties of her young compatriots would be tempered by her embrace of the Allied landing, marriage to a G. I., and journey to these shores on a troopship packed with war brides"--From publisher.
