Reading Record (continues...)

15 - "The White Masai"
By Corinne Hofmann
What an intense book! It's about a Swiss woman (Corinne) who, while on holidays there, falls in love with Kenya country and imparticular a Masai. Once she returns from Switzerland she breaks up with her current boyfriend and her life fast becomes an obsession to get back to Kenya and find her Masai. She ends up finding him, Lztinga, and starts a traditional styled life in Kenya. After much hard work on her part, they end up getting married and all is well until their first baby arrives. Lztinga suddenly becomes very jealous and constantly accuses Corinne of having an affair and having other boyfriends. Their whole life together is a struggle with its remoteness. Over the course of her stay in Kenya, Corinne struggles against many diseases, all of which made me quite queezy while reading! As the book continues you can feel the tension mount and hope something good can come from all of it.
