The Wayward Wind by Ashleigh Bingham – first published 2007
Hooray, I have made it out of Europe at last and crossed the Straits of Gibraltar to my second continent – Africa. Tom Sinclair sails from London to Morocco in 1867 in search of his sister who has gone missing. He struggles in a country where he doesn’t speak the language until he teams up with Spanish governess Francesca. Together they face several challenges including a stay in a town during an outbreak of the plague. It was a better story than I thought it was going to be and gives a reasonable flavour of Morocco in the mid 19th century. 6/10
