Corninne Hofmann, 46, lives in a villa on Lake Lugano with her teenage daughter. 'Back from Africa', the sequel to 'The White Masai', and 'Reunion in Barsaloi', about her returen to Kenya where husband and wife are reunited after 14 years, are still high on the bestseller lists and the film, 'The White Masai', was seen by more than one million people when first screened in Germany last September.

The White masai is at once a hopelessly romantic love story, a gripping adventure yarn and, incidentally, a fine piece of meticulously observed social anthropology. It is also a compulsive read. Corinne Hofmann falls in love with a Masai warrior while on hiliday with her boyfriend in Kenya. After overcoming all sorts of obstacles, she moves into a tiny hut with him and his mother in his village, and spends four years in Kenya. Slowly but surely the dream starts to cumble until she flees back home with her baby daughter born out of the seemingly indestructible love between a white European and a Masai.
From close shaves with wile animals to the rigours of a subsistence existence in the bush, disease, malnutrition, hunger, ritual mutilation and, overriding it all, a consuming passion for another, almost wholly alien, human being, this is a book steeped in humanity: one which emphasises how much we all share, and how much has come to separate us. Simply unputdownable.

圖書館偶然就看到瞭,好驚喜。以前學德語的時候看過電影,心想書一定會更好。英文版描寫很有畫麵感。
評分簡直懷念地不行瞭 三年過去瞭看到這本書的封麵我還是能迴想起乾燥的塵土味 鞋子襪子裏全是細沙的觸感 甚至在Wamba的晚上 在Nakuru的清晨空氣的濕潤。而所有這些都是我跟凱西的紐帶。
