In an open cart Elspeth Huxley set off with her parents to travel to Thika in Kenya. As pioneering settlers, they built a house of grass, ate off a damask cloth spread over packing cases, and discovered—the hard way—the world of the African. With an extraordinary gift for detail and a keen sense of humor, Huxley recalls her childhood on the small farm at a time when Europeans waged their fortunes on a land that was as harsh as it was beautiful. For a young girl, it was a time of adventure and freedom, and Huxley paints an unforgettable portrait of growing up among the Masai and Kikuyu people, discovering both the beauty and the terrors of the jungle, and enduring the rugged realities of the pioneer life.

I loved this young woman's bond to the land and her respect for the indigenous people of Africa during a time when Colonial rule took advantage of the peoples native to the land. The story is told with heart, integrity, honesty and humor ... the good and the disastrous things alike. It is an adventure story and memoir all in one. It also made a fantastic PBS series, well worth watching.
