Jealous Lover

Nonfiction. In his new, non-fiction book, THE JEALOUS LOVER, Larbi Layachi unsparingly depicts his years as a teenager in Tangier, Morocco. Banished by his stepfather to sleep in a leaky shed where he all but drowns, the boy leaves home. At twelve he sets out on his own, resting at night on cafe floors, and fishing for a living on the beach. By turns, he smuggles contraband, meets a Spanish girl and falls in love, serves two terms in Tangier jails, oversees a beach cafe, and vends black market cigarettes in alleys. The troubled life he leads and the men he meets combine to form a vivid tale.Layachi, Larbi is the author of 'Jealous Lover' with ISBN 9780939180301 and ISBN 0939180308.
