Isak Dinesen takes up the absorbing story of her life in Kenya begun in the unforgettable "Out of Africa", which she published under the name of Karen Blixen. With warmth and humanity these four stories illuminate her love both for the African people, their dignity and traditions, and for the beauty and wildness of the landscape. The first three were written in the 1950s and the last, 'Echoes from the Hills', was written especially for this volume in the summer of 1960 when the author was in her seventies. In all, they provide a moving final chapter to her African reminiscences.

Nothing but a killer,
By DM (ORegon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shadows On The Grass (Hardcover)
The first chapter about her most loved servent, Farah is good. After that she gets into her absolute LOVE of killing the animals of Africa. She just loves to hunt. If she sees a lion while driving she will stop and kill it. She kills elephants....she kills everything. I couldn't read any more it was disgusting.
