The story is about a Danish girl, her name is Karen Blixen who went to Africa after she
married with Baron. In Africa and more precisely in Kenya she started to run a
coffee-farm. But its failure in 1931 caused her to return to Denmark. Baroness Karen
Blixen spent 17 years in Africa. Karen began the coffee-farm with her husband, and
continued to oversee the farm even after she separated in 1925. Th e farm was an
unprofitable venture. 
Blixen shares her experiences in her book. actually she is not like all the other
colonists. She helps the Kikoejoes, they are the native population Ngong Hills. When the
children are sick she helps them and she gives them medicines. Kamante is her cook and he

.
Denys is a friend of Karen, he liked to her a story tolded . Denys lived in her house
between safari. He was a good friend. Denys also had a plane and from time to time Karen
flew with him over Africa.
When Karen left Africa she had to say goodbye to a lot of peoples. E everybody liked her.
She was a friendly girl and when she was in Denmark she received letters from her friend
sin Kenya.
It is not a book like an other. Karen describes her surroundings -Africa's people, she
pays careful attention to detail. 
I have chosen this book because I have lived in Africa for 11 years and while I was
reading the book I recognised a lot of things. I knew what she was talking about. It
looked so familiar to me. 
And so I liked the book.
