Deep in the heart of the rural Rif mountains,one boy’s life is dictated by tribal tradition,superstition and religion. But Jusef dreams ofmore; it’s a dream that will send him far from hisshepherding hills to the bustle of the big city insearch of education, meaning and, above all,a different way of life.From the richness of a story overflowing with talesof tragedies, courage and triumphs, Jusef ’s journeyreveals the complexities of Moroccan culture and theoverwhelming restraints facing those on the fringes.As the country questions its identity in the fadingperiod of colonial rule, one Berber boy must alsochallenge who he is and who he is meant to be –as he discovers in the fight against adversity,dreams might not be enough …A Riffian’s Tune is an autobiographical novelabout forging your own path, the powerof hope, and daring to step into thelabyrinth of life – no matter what.
