"In Morocco" by Edith Wharton is a travel book that takes readers on a trip through early 20th-century Morocco. Wharton describes the culture, buildings, and scenery of a country changing because of European colonization. She shares her adventures in cities such as Tangier, Rabat, and Fez, and shows how important it is to save the traditional ways of life before modernization changes them forever. Her journey shows the challenges of traveling in Morocco as well as the beautiful sights she found, and the story has a somewhat sad tone because the rich culture she is writing about is in danger of disappearing.
