Summary: Fluid poetry
Comment: This book was fantastic! Incredible! Inspiring, enchanting, lyrical, phenominal -- I don't know what else to say! Set in Africa, this novel continues the story that began with Flame Trees of Thika. Luscious, vivid and real, the setting is described in delicious detail. I felt as though I was in Africa. The characters are flawless proof of the author's talent. Tilly and Robin, the main character's parents, are engaging, funny, clever people with a stream of schemes to strike it rich. Interestingly enough, they don't care much for money, and only want it so that they can begin a new project. The picture the author paints of the Kikuyu (the natives) and their complex society is a clear window into another culture that captivates the reader with its striking vividness and the differences from our own. Social stature revolves around the number of goats and wives one possesses; disputes, or shauri, are as interweaved as a spider's web. The animals in the story are also described very well, and given personalities that are as real to the reader as the crinkling pages of this incredible book. I only wish that I could never stop reading it. I would recommend spending any amount of money or searching through any number of libraries to find this crisp, brilliant jewel of a novel.
