“Stories are the communal currency of humanity.” — Tahir Shah Step into Morocco without leaving Southern California for a one-of-a-kind literary gathering that celebrates the rich culture, history, landscapes, and stories that inspire great books. Over a cup of iced Moroccan mint tea and a delectable pastry, join New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Letts, whose captivating new historical novel "Fallen for France" transports readers from the elegance of Europe to the rugged beauty of Morocco, and Moroccan-born author and chef Kitty Morse, whose memoir "Mint Tea & Minarets" offers a deeply personal portrait of life, family, and tradition in Morocco and France. Hosted at Kitty’s charming Vista home—a private residence inspired by a traditional Moroccan riad—this intimate salon invites guests to immerse themselves in the sights, stories, and flavors of Morocco. Over Moroccan mint tea and cookies, Kitty will share memories of her upbringing in Morocco and discuss the cultural and historical connections that resonate throughout Elizabeth’s novel. Elizabeth will then discuss the inspiration behind Fallen for France, the remarkable true stories that informed her research, and the enduring relationship between horses, history, and human resilience. Whether you are drawn to historical fiction, memoir, horses, world cultures, culinary traditions, or simply the joy of discovering remarkable stories, this intimate literary salon offers a rare opportunity to experience Morocco through the eyes of two extraordinary authors. Through conversation, storytelling, and audience Q&A, guests will explore the people, history, landscapes, and traditions that inspire both books while enjoying the warmth and hospitality for which Morocco is renowned. Space is limited for this exclusive literary salon, creating a rare opportunity to engage with both authors in a uniquely atmospheric setting that feels worlds away from everyday life. Due to the special nature of this event, only a limited number of spaces are available and the event is expected to sell out. Event Registration Event Registration includes admission to the event, Moroccan mint tea and cookies, and a hardcover copy of "Fallen for France" by Elizabeth Letts. Deluxe Event Registration includes admission to the event, Moroccan mint tea and pastry, a hardcover copy of "Fallen for France," and a copy of Kitty Morse’s beloved memoir, "Mint Tea & Minarets." As this event is being held at Kitty’s private Moroccan-inspired residence in Vista, attendance is strictly limited. The address and event details will be emailed to registered guests approximately three days prior to the event. Please note that Deluxe Registration quantities are extremely limited due to the limited availability of "Mint Tea & Minarets." We encourage interested guests to reserve early.
