Book Reviews of Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass
Book Review: Magical prose that will break your heart.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's difficult to find truly magical prose in today's publications. Recently, I was hungry for some poetic fiction and pulled this volume from my bookshelf. I'm so glad I did.Karen Blixen writes with true insight and an artist's approach about her beloved farm in Africa. There's a paragraph where she wonders if Africa knows of her like she knows of Africa. What other author has ever asked that question? She also details the migration of buffalo, elephant and antelope with such majesty that the mind's eye can almost feel the ground move under their hooves.
If you're looking for a satisfying story that will entertain you for many nights, read "Out of Africa." You will not be disappointed.
