jroseharris 's review for:
Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass
by Isak Dinesen
This book took me forever to read but I’m glad I did. There were places where the writing was done really well. I have read a lot about the racism of the author and seen some people rate the book lower because of that. I did notice her racist perspective of the native Africans but I do believe a lot of that was the mindset of the day and even if it went further than that, it is her perspective and thoughts and worth reading as part of history. I’m not saying her perspective was right or trying to justify it In any way but I am also not going to give the book a lower rating because of it.
