Welcome to Litsy!

Iv given this amazing authors book 5 stars even though I found some of the content extremely difficult to read being a huge animal lover , poaching is evil ,cruel, disastrously damaging to these wonderful creatures, who with a normal heart soul and mind could do such a thing ! The daily fight against these evil people and the removal of snares ! The chapters about the orphaned baby animals and the trauma they‘ve endured at the hands of humans

1. My son adopted a feral kitten from a rescue who is very attached to only him. They now live in Los Angeles.
2. Not often.
3. The Elephant Whisperer

Memoir about a man‘s life in Kenya. I found it interesting and very specific to Wainaina‘s life. A mix of coming of age and details of how he became a writer.

Fun spy romp through South Africa. Irritating commentary on women and domestic abuse by heroine though.

From THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT by Agatha Christie:
“Nadina, the Russian dancer who had taken Paris by storm, swayed to the sound of the applause, bowed and bowed again.“

Starting my attempt to read (some of) the books discussed in Barbara Boswell's discussion of black women's writing from South Africa.

This copy came from the US (thankyou biblio.com), but had a sticker on the back saying £3.50. It also looks like someone has very carefully restitched it back together. Love a book with a bit of history!

What a way to grow up! For a guy who had so much trying to hold him back - apartheid, poverty, abusive step-father - he has gone far. But this isn‘t a “look what I did” book. It‘s a love letter to his mother. #readyourkobo @CBee
