The White Masai - Paperback

by Corinne Hofmann (Author), Peter Millar (With)

Whilst on holiday in Kenya, Corinne Hoffman fell in love with a Masai warrior. Eventually she moved into a tiny shack with him and his mother and spent four years in Kenya.

However, slowly but surely, the dream began to crumble. She eventually fled back home with her baby daughter. From wild animals through starvation to ritual mutilation, this is a book steeped in humanity and one that tells a fascinating tale.

At once a hopelessly romantic love story and a gripping adventure yarn, The White Masai is a compulsive read.
