Book description
In The White Masai Corinne Hofmann told the incredible story of
how she fell in love with and married Lketinga, a Masai warrior, and
lived with his family in Kenya. Now, in Back From Africa, she
describes her return to Switzerland and the difficulties that faced
her there, detailing how she built a new life for herself and her
daughter and overcame all obstacles with the same courage and optimist
with which she faced the demands of her life in the Kenyan outback.
Once again, Hofmann has proved herself to be an acute observer and an
effective storyteller, and her astonishing and compelling tale speaks
for herself.
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.
