Wonderful imagery of Africa, and an incredible story of a woman standing strong on her own around the turn of the century in an exotic place. Will probably read this again, just to revisit those beautiful descriptions.

Excellent book… actually beyond a book, beyond fiction, more like an actual hypothesis of a cosmology that I would not have expected to understand. But Sagan’s writing style is so relaxed and familiar that it was a quick and easy read. And I learned something and felt something very close to truth. Fascinating.
