Best memoir of African childhood I have ever read,
By
This review is from: Rainbow's End: A Memoir of Childhood, War and an African Farm (Hardcover)
I love tales of African childhoods and there seem to have been a lot of these books lately. This is the best one I've ever read. All of these books raphsodize about the beauty of Africa but this is the first book that made me see it too. This book made me laugh and cry -- and compelled me to write my first Amazon review. I read two or three books a week and I highly recommend this book.

Rainbow's End,

This review is from: Rainbow's End: A Memoir of Childhood, War and an African Farm (Hardcover)
This book is very good. I was a teenager in America when this was happening in Rhodesia. I remember it changing names and I remember there being some type of war, but I don't remember much else. I was shocked at some of the things that happened, but I really enjoyed the book. It should be required reading for anyone studying histories. I have passed this book on to some one who was born in that country and was just a few years older than the author and she has other memories, but she also said it was good. I definately recommend this book for anyone who likes books about history. It was very personable. The author made you really visualize the scenes as she described them.

Beautiful Memoir,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rainbow's End: A Memoir of Childhood, War and an African Farm (Hardcover)
This book is a beautifully written memoir of childhood that,importantly for me, does a fantastic job of evoking the time and place, scents and sounds of growing up on a farm in the bush. Perhaps more meaningful to me since I've traveled in southern Africa, but its a wonderful story for anyone not just those interested in that period and that place.
