KAREN’S BOOK REVIEW

The Flame Trees of Thika

No star rating recorded

Reviewed November 3, 2009 · Memoir & Nonfiction

I have an affinity to stories about Africa (see list on blog for additional suggestions!), especially about people from other places settling there. This memoir tells the story of a family in 1907, living in England. They decide to move to Africa and start a coffee plantation/farm. They have little or no knowlege or experience with either of these two…

Happy reading,
Karen
