Title: Thoroughly Enjoyable
Product review: "Rules of the Wild" is romantic, lush, descriptive, and a little maddening. Marciano's style takes me right back into Nairobi, and aptly captures the feeling of being a foreigner there. At the same time, Esme's imperfect character, so fully portrayed by Marciano, makes the feminist in me want to reach into the world she lives in and help her get over her desperate need for companionship. The irony and symbolism in the book are captured by the emotions it evokes in me. Somehow my feelings for Esme parallel my feelings for Africa: affection and respect, mixed with frustration and futility.
