Praise and Reviews
Reviews by readers:-1)This is good writing and everything is so clear and descriptive. This is an amazing story well told with depth and excellent characterization. It's evocative and descriptive and firmly set in its location. The details are meticulous and the pacing good with a palpable reality. The scenes are so clear, it's very easy to imagine.
2)Very evocative with the scenes beautifully set and the action sparse and realistic.
These short stories reveal a love of Africa . They show the beauty, but I think they also show the delicate balance between humans.and other animals. An enjoyable read and highly relevant to our age where so many of us are removed from the natural world.
