Strong story, beautifully written

Revisado: 05-27-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The People of Ostrich Mountain is, at first blush, an elegantly written story that follows a family over five decades. However, to the reader’s great delight, this book is much richer than the structure of the story itself. The writer artfully gifts a tale which is simultaneously simple and complex. The reader is guided through what is at once remarkable and common place. We follow Wambui from her pastoral childhood throughout her remarkable life laced with junctures that craft a world propelling her family forward and across continents. The writer flawlessly interlaces worlds with prose that provide depth and feeling without sanctimony. This book is a must read for those of us that live a third culture life; who feel belonging that does not always match our passport cover. From Kenya, to England, to the United States this book treats the reader to all the subtitles, pain and joy, and all the similarities, that ultimately tie us together in humanity. There is no shortage of food for thought in this book and it would make a fantastic pick for a book club to spark meaningful discussion.
