Summary

Danish countess Karen Blixon, known as Isak Dineson, ran a coffee plantation in Kenya in the years when Africa remained a romantic and formidable continent to most Europeans. Out of Africa is her account of her life there, with stories of her respectful relationships with the Masai, Kikuyu, and Somali natives who work on her land; the European friends who visit her; and the imposing permanence of the wild, high land itself. Stage and television actress Julie Harris delivers a reading that is emotionally charged and reflective, recreating Dinesen's lively appreciation for the land she loved so much.

I am a huge fan of the film and i could hear the beautiful music played, from the film, in my mind throughout the book. I could hear the voices of the charactors from my memory and visualise the scenes.
By default, I love this book.
My wish would be to have the title music from the film played as an added extra during the reading. It is majestically fitting, especially the music played during their flights together.
If you have ever seen these parts of Africa, felt its climate and engulfed its beauty, you will know this book within your heart.
