3/5
Very well-written autobiography about her childhood spent in Africa (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi). Her sensory descriptions are excellent. However, despite of all that, I wasn't taken by it. I wasn't interested... I guess I would have preferred more in-depth introspection.

What could be better than going with my daughter to listen to my husband play with a jazz singer in a venue selling books? It was in celebration of African American history month. Fun! 😄 My daughter got to chat with the singer about SZA & Lamar, so it was a win for her.

I can‘t believe I‘m the first to post about this book! Im not a huge nonfiction reader but I‘m a third of the way through and it‘s been fascinating stuff we don‘t learn in school. There is a BBC mini series on YouTube too. #firstlinefridays

A new #WeekendReads background for November. Whatcha reading?

This was my #FoodAndLit pick for #Botswana

It was interesting to read about Mark and Delia‘s experiences living in the Kalahari desert and the relationships they made with the animals living there.
Even as a reader you become invested in the livelihood of the animals.

Originally written in the 1950s, these memoirs written by a 25-year-old author about his growing up in Guinea reveals the daily life, customs and traditions of his time.
It's a short read that will open a window to witness life there and then through the eyes of the author. If you pick this book, keep in mind that it's main focus is daily life, so it may not interest everyone.
