The Magician's Wife
Brian Moore
This book is set firstly in France and later in Algeria. It tells the tale of the wife of a famous magician who is sent to Algeria to frighten the natives so that the won't rise against the French. It is simply written but has complicated ideas. Doreen thought it told a good tale and thought it very good; recommended.

Gill really enjoyed this and found it quite gripping. The story is about a French magician and his wife who are sent to Algeria at the turn of the century. Andrew had also read it .He thought it cleverly plotted and that it described the heat, noise and general craziness of North Africa very well
