"I have now chosen this for my Bookclub's next book! It was an enjoyable read. It kept me reading, did not want to put it down! At the beginning of the book you wonder, what it has to do with its title. But it becomes clearer, as read on. The remarkable part, was the shift between two worlds. Another first time writer, who should continue to write."

    " This book was chosen for our book club selection next month. I loved the entire book! Took me only two days to finish it. I was immersed in the book for the entire time. Kenya is definitely a country on my bucket list now after having read the book. I wanted more once the book was finished! "

    " Although the topic or theme of the book was good, I felt there just was no "depth" to this story. It was fairly easy to predict what was going to happen throughout the story. I wanted to read this as I saw some very high ratings. I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed with this book. "

    " I found this book to be unbelievable most of the conversation between Mama Bu and Nicole sounded like it was regurgiated from other a Kenyan Political History text book or from a psyhc text book. I am not sure of the age of the author but it came across as if it was written by a 20 something with very limited real life experience. A terrible read. I cannot believe KOBO recommended this book for me. "

    " 3.5 - A lovely, heartwarming story. I enjoyed learning a bit about another culture, and as a mother and teacher, I found the main character relatable. A quick read and happy ending. Sometimes that's just what you need! "

    " What a great book! I would compare this to Eat, Pray, Love but more realistic. I really couldn't put it down, the descriptions make you feel like you're in Africa with the main character. Strongly recommend this book for anyone who needs a reminder to think positively. "

    " This would have been a good first or second draft of a potential novel. The author fell short in several areas. She should have researched Kenya and the teaching profession more. More effort to the ending would have improved the story by leaps. "
