CARE invited Bill Bryson to visit Kenya to see what life is like there and how the charity is working to help the people.
I was expecting that it would be dominated by the gloom of deep poverty and it was certainly described. But then there is the effervescent personality of Bryson himself that can't help but see the quirks of humanity and the good that is all around.
I was happy that he wrote the book in the manner that has won him his dedicated audience. It is a charming thing to follow a middle-aged and bewildered white guy into a wholly alien situation.
His intelligence, compassion and eye for the humanity of a given situation make this a book to search for and buy.
Recommended.
