Through the Leopard's Gaze by Njambi McGrath

challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

3.75

I was intrigued by Njambi McGrath's story throughout Through the Leopard's Gaze, and was especially curious to see how the relationship with her various family members developed over the course of the book. I struggled with the writing style a little — at times it seemed too blunt or succinct given the intimate and emotional subject matter, and this sometimes led to a disconnect for me. But overall, it was definitely a worthwhile reading experience. I especially appreciated the harrowing accounts of life in Kenya under British colonial rule and how that served as important context for analysing how surviving amidst such wildly distressing circumstances may serve in completely altering the makeup of a person.
