Out of Africa

Out of Africa/Karen Blixen/Penguin Books

This book is ultimately, doubtlessly, my all time favourite and will remain so for a good many years. The way Karen Blixen takes you across the fields of African safaris and her own coffee plantation is jst purely magical. I can simply close my eyes and picture each blade of grass, each swaying tree. What amazes me is her innitial impression of the country when she first arrived in Africa. Her words brought about the beauty of the landscape out of the pages and into the readers mind. This book truly speaks of her love for the African country and all there is in it.
