ReplyDeleteIf it was not for my wife I would not have come across this fascinating read. She chose it for me as it seemed to have all the ingredients I thoroughly enjoy in any book: a far-away place I will likely never visit, adventurous exploits seen and experienced by a young man in a wild and varied natural world as well as some very relevant history about which I know very little. Now, whether I finish such a book is another issue altogether but in the case of The Slope of Kongwa Hill I did and at in record time too! The Slope of Kongwa Hill is Mr Edwards personal account and told with a great sense for realism and history while infusing adventure and humour throughout every page. His is a book to not only enjoy but to actually 'experience' - with detailed descriptions it is easy enough to conjure up your own backdrop against which his memoirs unfold. It reads like a novel, yet it isn't. Being able to look into the daily lives and routines of native Africans and out-of-place British immigrants of all ages while they live in and cope with the harshly beautiful African Steppe is a treat. Mr. Edwards writing could easily have been a chronological narrative devoid of excitement or detailed description but not only has he managed to engage me with his style, he has encouraged me to look beyond my own world and as such he provided me with an extraordinary journey into a land I never knew existed.
