The White Masai, Corinne Hofmann
I've just finished reading the proof copy of The White Masai by Corinne Hofmann. A best seller in Europe for 2 or three years, it will be published in English for the first time later this year - September I think. I'm still trying to compose my thoughts on this book, which was been highly praised and hugely hyped. I'm not yet persuaded. There were things I found irritating, but things I found engaging and enlightening as well. I certainly enjoyed the read - but is there really more to this book that that? If anyone else has read it, I'd be really interested to hear what you think?

I have just finished reading the white masai. i really enjoyed it and found it v interesting. I was recently in kenya so i could really picture everything the author talked about and i think thats what made the book special for me. If i hadnt been to kenya i dont think it would have been as good for me. But i am hoping the sequels are published in english & i will definitely be reading them. I found it very exciting and made me laugh, cry and gasp in amazement at some of the stories. I've met some masai warriors and i def cannot imagine being married to them!!
