*** The Diver’s Clothes Lie Empty by Vendela Vida

The Diver’s Clothes Lie Empty stars a mysterious American woman taking a trip to Morocco. She promptly gets her passport stolen and stages a strange disappearance under a false identity, as her past unfolds and illuminates her strange choices. Read past the first few chapters, which could fool the reader into thinking this is a classic ugly American story. It’s not, not at all.
