Title: One line is not enough to tell how much I hated the book.
Product review: A spoiled, beautiful and unappealing Italian woman, Esme, drifts into the ex-pat English-speaking community in Nairobi. There she continues her self-absorbed and aimless life, living with and off Adam, a white Kenyan who runs safaris. This gives author Marciano the opportunity to make nasty anti-American remarks about the people who go on safari. Esme cheats on Adam with a journalist who is assigned to cover the massacre in Rwanda. Marciano digresses from the main plot and goes on about the situation in Rwana which has nothing to do with carrying the characters or story along. The conclusion of the book is that there is no conclusionThis is an infuriating and unsatisfying book by a woman who I suspect is the doppelganger for her smug and nasty protagonist.
