Our discussion was nuanced in its recognition of Blixen's vantage point as a privileged Western woman, but also the transformation in her thinking (on humanity) from living alongside another culture so closely and respectfully for all those years. While a beautiful record of a time and place, the colonial lens was sometimes hard to bear in a contemporary context. However, the writing is also copiously dense, so we found this to be an epic read. Blixen writes the country, its colours, people, sensations, smells, sounds, animals, and seasons with electric detail. This memoir of Blixen's 18 years in Kenya, running a coffee plantation at the outbreak of the First World War, is a stunning evocation of place. Last month at Matilda Bookshop we discussed the iconic classic, Out of Africa, by Karen Blixen.
