Yesterday's perfume - Cherie Nutting, Paul Bowles
an intimate memoir of Paul Bowles
KORTE INHOUD
Fifteen years ago, Cherie Nutting returned to Morocco. She had first visited it as a child with her mother, and the images of mystery and the desert had stayed with her, fueled over the years by accounts of expatriate life and by the literature created there. In Tangier again, she met the most famous of the expatriates and author of the classic The Sheltering Sky. Cherie became a friend of Paul Bowles and part of his circle.

Yesterday's Perfume is a memoir of that friendship and of Cherie's love of Morocco.
