Review title: Typical Whites in Kenya
Product review: Most white settlers, both old and new, have the means to live large.Thus, when she talks about the the glorious life and merry-making with her friends, I am not surprised. I have seen this first hand. So, where is Ms Gallmann's 'meaty' part in this lifestyle?Why this book deserves 1 star: For one, Ms Gallmann paints the local people as brainless, simpleheads... she's very patronizing in every sense. Two, if she cares so much about the country she lives in, and for her own credibility, she should have either left out the Swahili words/sentences or got herself a translater to do the needful. The Swahili deserves an F. Third, her treatment of the so-called loved ones is rather lacking, if not disrespectful. She should have just written a book recounting her son's life and his untimely death. Period.Ms Gallmann is certainly NOT Karen Blixen! One star for the descriptive scenery and the effort of writing a book.
