“The Book of Birds of East Africa” is a refined love novel reminiscent of Jane Austen’s books, and at the same time it’s a magnificent comedy in the spirit of Woodhouse; the exotic setting lends the book charm and brings to mind Kipling’s stories. In Kenya, against the background of tender birdsong, unfolds an extraordinary duel for a lady’s favor. The participants are invited to record all the birds they see. The winner invites the beauty Rose to a ball.
In this novel about love, tenderness and psychology blend with funny jokes and a detective intrigue. Light, airy, filled with charming characters and exotic birds—with English humor, it’s a book for pleasant relaxation.
