The White Masai Summary

The White Masai by Corinne Hofmann

Corinne Hofmann recounts her story of holidaying in Kenya, where she falls head over heels in love with a Masai warrior. Despite the enormous cultural gulf between them, not to mention the lack of common language, Hofmann, a middle class Swiss boutique owner, gives up western life, to rejoin her Masai warrior and his way of life.
