Optioned for film by George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures, with Scarlett Johansson to star. Tangerine is a sharp dagger of an audiobook-a debut so tightly wound, so replete with exotic imagery and charm, so full of precise details and extraordinary craftsmanship, it will leave you absolutely breathless. Then Alice’s husband, John, goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind. Tangier features two female friends, Alice Shipley and Lucy Mason, who are both ex-college roommates from Bennington (the same college the author also attended). Lucy-always fearless and independent-helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country.īut soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice-she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. In the US, Tangerine, Christine Mangan’s debut novel, is published by Harper Collins, and in the UK by Little, Brown. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco, too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat. But there Lucy was, trying to make things right and return to their old rhythms. After the accident at Bennington, the two friends-once inseparable roommates-haven’t spoken in over a year. The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason.
