Det er ikke en sammenhængende fortælling, men det føles som én. Blev lidt :( på de sidste sider tbh. Selvom der egentlig ikke sker så meget, så skriver Karen så godt at man gerne vil læse videre hele tiden.
Man skal lige huske på at bogen er gammel, og hendes syn på race-ting er outdated. Er det lidt eeh 😬 at læse? Yep. Men hey, what can you do.

Incredible book, loved it, so insightful into African culture— makes you appreciate the things you take for granted. Charming characters too
Beautiful. And so much heart and feeling. I really loved this memoir of Blixen's life in Africa. Her writing is so lovely and her love for Africa and the people she lived with comes through on every page. Although in some ways this book is so dated, I think Blixen comes across as a wonderful and interesting person; she's like a friend. And it seems like everyone in Africa loved her too.
This book will quietly stun you. It's a little dated in terms of the way Dinesen discusses her relationship with the Kenyan natives, but making allowances for that, what an evocative, rich love letter to one of the great regions of the world. Her descriptions of Africa captivated me from the first chapter, and her pioneer spirit and love of adventure - treated in an almost offhand manner throughout - means you never know which direction each page will take. Dinesen blows chick lit out of the water with both barrels.

Karen Blixen skriver smukt og meget malende, som at være der selv. Bogen giver samtidig et godt indblik i det hvide menneskes opfattelse af det sorte menneske i tiden. Selvom dette menneskesyn er meget ubehageligt at se igennem, er det måske netop utroligt vigtigt at læse og forstå i dag, så vi hvide mennesker på et dybere plan forstår de mange års undertrykkelse af andre hudfarver.
