The author recalls the years she spent in Kenya running a coffee plantation, in a first-person account of colonial life and the African landscape. Dinesen portrays people from different cultures—Europeans, Somalis, Kikuyus, and Maasai—and reflects on loss and love for a continent that shaped her destiny.

Suitable for young and adult readers aged 14 and over, especially those interested in autobiographical narrative and colonial life in Africa.
