"An autobiographical novel about Kuki Gallman's experiences in Africa... The book is filled with wonderful descriptions of the African landscape and the struggles of daily life in this enigmatic country. Kuki engages the reader with tales elephants in her garden to the very real threat of lions that can kill in one moment of carelessness. It is clear through her writing that she truly loves and feels a spiritual conncetion to this land. Her upbeat attitude, "There has never been a day of boredom" and sincere desire to protect the environment has bolstered her through two tragedies that would break a lesser person. You may not agree with some of Kuki's life choices but you will be inspired, awed and envious of the adventures and environmental achievements she has made in her lifetime."
"This book tells of the lessons learned about life, love of family our fellow men and our roll in caring for the Earth. All have great sacrifices which leave lasting impressions of joy, sorrow, and deep conviction."
"I found this book very touching and sad. But the Italian author's transformation into a caring steward over her African land was compelling to read about. She lost some of her whiteness, but it took time."
