Book description
Corinne Hofmann falls in love with a Masai warrior while on holiday
in Kenya. A hopelessly romantic love story, a gripping adventure yarn
and, incidentally, a fine piece of meticulously observed social anthropology.
Corinne Hofmann was born in 1960 of a French mother and a German
father in Frauenfield in the Swiss canton of Thurgau, now lives in a
villa on Lake Lugano with her teenage daughter. She had an international
bestseller with The White Masai, an autobiographical account of her life
in Kenya, which has since been translated into more than twenty
languages and has spawned a film adaptation, seen by more than one
million people when released in Germany in 2005. Her second book, Back
from Africa described her attempt to start a new life back in
Switzerland, and Reunion in Barsoli about her return to Kenya where
husband and wife are reunited, after 14 years are still riding high on
the bestseller lists.
