Reunion in Barsaloi (The White Masai #3) by Corinne Hofmann

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY PETER MILLAR

Following the phenomenal success of her bestselling memoirs, Corinne Hofmann returns to her beloved Africa after many years.

Fourteen years after fleeing Kenya with her baby daughter, Corinne returned in the summer of 2004 to meet Lketinga and his family again in their village, Barsaloi. Nervous as she was, and uncertain as to how he would react on seeing her again, she found to her relief that she was welcomed unreservedly by all who remembered her - by Lketinga, who still thought of her as his 'wife number one', by his brother, James, now a schoolteacheer, and especially by Lketinga's mother, who had looked after Corinne with such care all those years before. Corinne Hofmann revisits an area of a country which she cares about passionately, describing in her familiar immensely readable style the changes she saw after her time away, and once again bringing to life the the atmosphere and characters in the Masai village.
