Book Reviews of The Shadow of the Sun
Book Review: Very good but the material on each country was too brief
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a truely wonderful account of Ryszard's life in Africa. It left me gasping for more e.g. the account on Uganda where he says he has far more material made me say "can I hear it please?" - I hope he follows this up with a more detailed book.The book started a bit slowly and I felt that this was yet another condescending account of events and the people of Africa but after the initial pages the book takes off and what a flight. Wonderful but a bit breif.
