Review: The Tattooed Map
Gaby Meares
This book is a lovely item in it’s own right. Hodgson has used her skills in design to create a visually lovely book. It is as if you are reading the narrator’s very own diary, illustrated with her photos, lists and ephemera collected on her trip through Morocco.
Her descriptions of the sights and sounds of her journey are visceral and make the reader wish they could transport themselves to these exotic places. The story is quite strange, and I’m not sure the ending is successful, however, the journey is entrancing!
