Editorial Reviews

“The book’s love affair is with Africa, and Dinesen’s writings capture its majestic beauty: the land, wildlife, and Kenyan people…Out of Africa will generate thoughtful discussions of colonialism, feminism, religion, and spirituality.” —Lit Lovers
[Dinesen’s] honest approach to writing shows her observance and independence. Both of these traits are very attractive in a writer and they make for very interesting and indispensable read.” —Helium
“A beautiful and heartrending book.” —Brothersjudd.com
