Speak Swahili, Dammit ! (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

Brought back many memories of my childhood growing up on a coffee farm outside Nairobi, Kenya.I thought it was well written and I really enjoyed the Swahili words and phrases peppered into the story. The descriptions of the places, the travel, the night skies are excellent.I am encouraging my Canadian wife and children to read this in order to get a better understanding of the place I came out of. This is a long book, and it took me a very long time to read it. This autobiography does take one to a different time and place, and for that I appreciated it. I liked how it wrapped up, though an epilogue or even followup book about what happened in the author's life afterward would be appreciated. I think this could have been edited to tighten up the storytelling without losing any of the effect.
