About This Book

A 17-year-old girl raised in Marrakech with strict adherence to refined standards of taste and social conduct finds her worldview challenged when she travels to New York. Having been trained by her mother to avoid bad taste and maintain rigorous social etiquette, she must navigate a new environment and confront the complexities of the world outside her sheltered upbringing. The story explores themes of connoisseurship, independence, and the social dynamics of wealth.
