About this title: From a prize-winning British author comes a lush, absorbing memoir--an "Out of Africa" set in the Venezuelan Andes. Tremendously atmospheric, "The Hacienda" brilliantly evokes the unique confluence of time, place, and people that shaped this powerful writer.

"Beautifully written. Despite the instability of her marriage and the hardships of her time in Venezuela you can't help but wish to see and experience life on la hacienda for yourself!"
"Although I related in some ways to the main character, I felt that she was far too passive and her personality frustrated me to no end. I did not have a hard time finishing the book, but I was not pleased with the outcome when I did reach the finish line."
"Normaly I don't like memoirs but.... This one I loved. I could visualize the place and the people. I felt like I had traveled to the Hacienda myself."
"The sort of writing where the places seem real in your head long after you finish the book. Crazy privileged impoverished highly colored wise things... follow up with author's Valley in Italy book."
