2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

An awakening passion, an ancient curse and a search for identity. After a bizarre mishap Jack Morgan takes up a UN posting in Kenya, hoping to find obscurity on the streets of Nairobi. there he is befriended by the American 'Bear' Hoffman, a man equally at home in the city's racy nightlife as in the Kenyan bush. Jack's hopes for seclusion are soon dashed as he is seduced by the excitement of Africa and by a beautiful Maasai woman named Malaika. Malaika carries a dark secret, and when a warrior returns from her past, she and Jack are plunged into a world of ancient spiritualism and tribal curses. Caught at the centre of a gathering storm, they must fight for the survival of their love... Rich in historical details, tEARS OF tHE MAASAI follows Jack on a flight from truth, and a Maasai family's journey through time, from warrior supremacy to the colour and drama of modern-day Kenya. 'remarkable ... adventuresome ... suffused with tenderness' - AUStRALIAN BOOK REVIEW

Tears Of The Maasai | Frank Coates

so-so

This book wasn't for me. Having grown up in Africa I thought it might have been a bit of a nostalgic read. It wasn't so. It felt clear all the way through that it was written by a white male - nothing wrong with that but it wasn't a voice I identified with or wanted to hear from. Reminded me of some of the worst bits of the expatriate lifestyle and felt a bit 'ick'. It's very possible that the reader had much to do with this.

Walking through my neighbourhood and a man cleaning out his house asked if I wanted any of the books he'd packed in a cardboard box. My response? Hell yeah! Was already carrying bags of groceries, otherwise I would've taken more!
