Summary:

Newly-weds in Tangier experience the bitter- and sweetness of new encounters in this evocative short story. As with the contrasting flavours of the 'garnet-coloured beads, packed in pith and membrane', Emily and Ari savour the surprises of the alleyways and locals. But can they trust the man who offers to be their guide? Can they believe his claims that he has a kebab stand near to where they come from? And what of his prediction that they will soon have a beautiful baby boy?
