Memoirs of Africa February 24, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have read June Clark's book from the point of view of an ex-pat in colonial Africa. It brought back a flood of memories of my own experience of living in Africa in the 1950's and 60's; then a land teeming with the big game animals and vast savanahs and forestations. The book is well written, and is a tribute to the dogged determination of the author and her husband to create a tribal game reserve in the Okavango swamps. The hardships endured and the bravery of the author is unimaginable for those content with a nine to five job in the western world. Were it not for people of similar persausion to the authors Africa's inheritance would be the poorer.
