The White Masai, Corinne Hofmann

@ 07:52 PM (39 months, 17 days ago)

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?
