But the search gets her involved with Moorish antique dealers, a Belgian woman archaeologist, Purcell, the enigmatic barkeeper, and American airman, the saurian Mr. St. John, and numerous other characters charming or sinister. Julia's search takes her a cargo-boart to Casablanca, Tangier, Fez and Marrakech. Her 'dumb-blonde' beauty, camouflaging a lively intelligence, gets her through unexpected difficulties and dangers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first in a series of eight Julia Probyn novels, The Lighthearted Quest displays a blend of humour and adventure which transports us to exotic places and introduces us to entertaining people, but also throws a good deal of light on the explosive political issues that French Morocco encountered in the 50s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'Here's an answer for the multitude of readers demanding a good story, adventure, mystery [and] romance' -\u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Reader","offers":[{"title":"Lighthearted Quest | Ann Bridge | Paperback | 9781448200481 | Used: Like New | Suspense \u0026 Thriller 1734961 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48168184152216,"sku":"1734961","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91AIU-rrpdL.jpg?v=1771964645","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/lighthearted-quest","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
