[These letters] contain the raw material that was later transformed into her classic memoir Out of Africa (1937). They also reveal her as a highly intelligent and sensitive analyst of a strange new world."--Bruce Allen, Christian Science Monitor"Letters from Africa is literary gold, 24 karat."--Alden Whitman, Boston Globe
