Translated from German by Peter Millar. Most of us might spend a few minutes enjoying a fantasy of what it would be like stepping outside our lives and into another culture; Corinne Hofmann actually did it.
The White Masai is at once a hoplessly romantic love story, a gripping adventure yarn and, incidentally, a fine piece of meticulously observed social anthropology. It is also a compulsive read.
Corinne Hofmann falls in love with a Masai warrior while on holiday with her boyfriend in Kenya. After overcoming all sorts of obstacles, she moves into a tiny hut with him and his mother in his village, and spends four years in Kenya. Slowly bu surely the dream starts to crumble until she flees back home with her baby daughter born out of the seemingly indestructible love between a white European and a Masai.
