Hello to the Cannibals by Richard Bausch

m_a_p's review against another edition

2.0

Sounds like Mary Kingsley had a fascinating life. Too bad we have to wade through all these creepy, pathetic men and sad, pathetic women to get to her.

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

The book tells two stories...one of a rather vacuous young woman in the present day and one of Mary Kingsley, the Victorian woman who explored Africa.  The Kingsley portions, though largely made up, were interesting.  

I had gotten the book years ago...giving it away after reading it.
