Praise & Reviews
With humour and honesty, Maliki captures what it means to represent a country Like Morocco, keep asking what truly matters and to build bridges across cultures, while staying grounded through it all.
...a tender, wise, and luminous chronicle, glazed in electric wit and candour, of a life led in service not only of a nation, but of human connection....philosophical without being prosaic, and enlightening without being preachy...
-Dr. Shashi Tharoor
Ambassador Maliki handpicks his choices from a basket of memorabilia...they are garnished with a clipped literary narration and an undercurrent of bated humour....the book's appeal lies in its personal and relatable storytelling style....
-Ratan Tata
