We discover Simonne Jacquemard's "Berber Wedding", between M'hamid and Tazzarine.
Simonne Jacquemard, author of 2 books situated in Tazzarine
A (unfairly) little-known French author, Simonne Jacquemard is one of those writers with whom I would have liked to exchange ideas, but was too late in doing so.
She is present on this site for two novels set in Tazzarine, atypical in a body of work oriented rather towards the love of animals and oriental religions and cultures, from Ancient Greece to the distant East.
Ecologist before her time, dancer as much as writer, animal lover (she lived with dozens of foxes), wife of a Robert Laffont collection director who became a monk and then a Zen Buddhist master, she undoubtedly surprised by her eclecticism.
On the contrary, today she would be perfectly in tune with the times, interviewed by Youtubers in search of the quantum well-being of spiritual experiences, and this eclecticism would be a proof of her creativity.
Both her books speak of an experience many of us have had: how to really bring together a Western visitor and a Berber steeped in his traditions and culture.
