The story is about a Danish girl, her name is Karen Blixen who went to Africaafter she married with Baron. In Africa and more precisely in Kenya she startedto run a coffee-farm. But its failure in 1931 caused her to return to Denmark. Baroness Karen Blixen spent 17 years in Africa. Karen began the coffee-farm withher husband, and continued to oversee the farm even after she separated in 1925. Th e farm was an unprofitable venture.
Blixen shares her experiences in herbook. actually she is not like all the other colonists. She helps the Kikoejoes,they are the native population Ngong Hills. When the children are sick she helpsthem and she gives them medicines.

He was a good friend. Denys also had a plane and from timeto time Karen flew with him over Africa. When Karen left Africa she had to saygoodbye to a lot of peoples. E everybody liked her. She was a friendly girl andwhen she was in Denmark she received letters from her friend sin Kenya.
It isnot a book like an other. Karen describes her surroundings -Africa’s people, shepays careful attention to detail. I have chosen this book because I have livedin Africa for 11 years and while I was reading the book I recognised a lot ofthings. I knew what she was talking about. It looked so familiar to me.
And so Iliked the book.Book Reports
