Description
“Here’s a wealthy new biographical point of view at the brilliant storyteller whose sophisticated romantic fiction . . . made her an international good fortune and perpetual candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature. . . . [These letters] contain the raw subject matter that used to be later transformed into her classic memoir Out of Africa (1937). In addition they reveal her as a very smart and sensitive analyst of a abnormal new world.”—Bruce Allen, Christian Science Monitor
“Letters from Africa is literary gold, 24 karat.”—Alden Whitman, Boston Globe
