Leaving Tangier

Leaving Tangier is a novel by moroccan writer Tahar Ben Jelloun. And although I bought the book because it´s a story about illegal immigration, hope, deception, disillusionment, this is the sentence that spoke to me the most:

"...On the trip home they barely spoke, wrapped in a fine fatigue and completely absorbed in their sense of each other."

This is just beautiful to read; and when it happens too.
