I truly loved this piece and my book group just watched the movie Out of Africa, so I could really visualize the scene.

True enough, EA is about as sparse in vegetation as the plains of Africa.<br /><br />Of all the characters, Aniel is a real person: an African tracker. I feel sure he'd be honoured to feature in the novel. Lost, is another story entirely but equally real! ;)<br /><br />best<br />FFrancine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233495210852135611.post-11365325251690355022010-12-11T09:47:33.792+00:002010-12-11T09:47:33.792+00:00Hey there tricky one!

Once I got over my shock and realised you were talking about Africa and not East Anglia, I really got into it. Safari Lodge mid-winte blogfest. Why not? That said, I left Oz behind for the stormy, snowy climes of my MCs Nantucket for mine. Good Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.com
