Kurzbeschreibung
14 Jahre nach der abenteuerlichen Flucht mit ihrer kleinen Tochter Napirai kehrt Corinne Hofmann erstmals wieder nach Kenia zurück. In Barsaloi kommt es schließlich zu einem bewegenden Wiedersehen mit dem Massaikrieger Lketinga, dem Vater ihrer Tochter.
Synopsis
Fourteen years after fleeing Kenya with her baby daughter, Corinne returned in the summer of 2004 to meet Lketinga and his family again in their village, Barsaloi. Nervous as she was, and uncertain as to how he would react on seeing her again, she found to her relief that she was welcomed unreservedly by all those who remembered her - by Lketinga, who still thought of her as his 'wife number one', by his brother, James, now a schoolteacher and especially by Lketinga's mother, who had looked after Corinne with such care all those years before. Corinne Hofmann revisits an area of a country which she cares about passionately, describing in her immensely readable style the changes she saw after her time away, and once again bringing to life the atmosphere and characters in the Masai village.

To appreciate this book you must read "the White Massai". It is the story of a young Swiss white girl who goes to Africa on a trip, falls in love with a black "warrior" of the Massai tribe in Kenya and marries him. This book is the last of her story of this experience, and the tale of a heart warming reunion with her black family some years later. It is a story of how much a land and it's people can change in a relatively short time.It ends a good biography, and is an excellent translation from the German.

If you loved the first one, you'll love this one too.
1. September 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Just a short review, my title really says it all. Simple writing style again, but the story is an adventure so the writing doesn't need to be. Ms. Hofmann travels back to her village in Kenya where she married and lived with a Masai warrior for years, and bore him a child. Fourteen years later, they accept her back. Her husband seems to have changed for the better (not as immature and petulant as in the first book). The rest of the village is over joyed to have her back for a short visit. She also takes a couple of days to visit the film set of the White Masai movie being filmed (which I would love to see but it's in German). Careful when ordering this book... the ISBN number is the same as another Swiss book and I ordered the wrong one by accident (it had the same title and same ISBN, but different author) So be careful and make sure it's Ms. Hofmann who wrote it! My only criticism, I would love to see pictures of the teenage Napirai (her daughter with Ltekinga) but I can understand her protecting her identity. Also, I'd love to know how to pronounce Ltekinga too! Over all I couldn't wait for this book to be printed in English and it was satisfying to be able to get some closure and updates on the African family members and what has happened to her and her daughter also, since the author returned to Switzerland.

A woman's folly has no end
15. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Hofmann's last book to date seems to be just a filler - hardly anything to say. She dragged the story of her revisiting - what she calls "her family" through endless repetitions and descriptions of facts not at all connected to the subject, like her alpine expedition to Tanzania, under the pretext that she longed for Africa. She goes on and on to even describe the people she met on this trip - totally irrelevant to the topic. She definitely squeezed her 2 - 3 years Kenyan adventure to the last drop. Or is it the last drop? I bet we will have a fourth volume, when she will return to Kenya with her daughter.
Although I read her first two books with much interest, I would say that this interest was mainly due to her unimaginable folly and to finding out more about the Massai customs. How can one sensible 26-year old woman, from Switzerland - not some poor village in Albania, or Haiti, or Honduras, go willingly to live 3 years in a mud-hut, without washing for weeks, without medical assistance, without food, in a primitive environment where women are cruelly mutilated; cannot talk to their men; are married off as children and not allowed to see a doctor? Her husband did not provide for her, she had to spend her own money, work hard and in the end, she became their only source of sustenance. Mind you all this in the name of love! What love? She saw some exotic, handsome Massai on a boat and wow, he becomes the love of her life?! Never mind he could not speak English, he could not write, and moreover, was a lousy lover! If Hoffmann has some money left from the publishing of these books - I suggest she looks for a good therapist. Her adventure proved to be monetarily profitable, but still, she should find out what made her do it and understand her folly.

Wonderful Memoir
8. April 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book can stand on its own but ideally you should read "The White Masai" and "Back From Africa" first. You will not regret traveling with Corinne Hofmann on any of her journeys. She has had an amazing, colorful life....and I'm sure there's more she'll share with us. I do hope she'll write at least one more as she does have unfinished business in Africa and I'm looking forward to hearing about its resolution.
