Chicago, the turn of the 21st century. Our narrator recounts her decades-long relationship with the heiress, Katherine Stern. Through the years since boarding school, she has seen Katherine as a daughter who wants for nothing but respect from her psychotherapist father, as a woman with a kind but fortune-hunting fiancée, and as a mystery even more confounding than the gothic horror stories she evaluates from the slush pile at her job. Sometimes, despite their estrangement, she has even seen Katherine as a friend. Moving through wintery Michigan avenue to the creeping mansions of the rich to the world of melodrama, ghosts, and girls --- MOROCCO confronts the ambiguity of memory, the horrors of history, and what it means, or does not mean, to read a book and tell a story.
