Interesting collections of memior type essays of formative years spent in Africa. Lots of wonderful family characters centering around the doctor father and the eccentric mother. ( ) A memoir of a girl (Robyn) growing up in Botswana. I liked this book a lot. Her family moves from New Zealand when she is 7 to Botswana. She is homeschooled along with her brother and sister. Their mother tends to read books to them and allows them to learn what they want. I found it interesting that for a semester they had tried school and their mom decided to have them homeschooled again. At the age of 14 Robyn decides to go to school again and actually liked the idea of structure and tests. Her dad was a doctor that flew to his clinics all over Botswana. Eventually he gave up flying for a car and drove 3 days a week to his various clinics. I like that Robyn's parents moved to Botswana to try and fulfill their dreams. Entertaining and enlightening non fiction story of a girl growing up in an wonderfully exotic expatriate family in Botswana. Set largely in the last decade of the twentieth century, this is a story of passion filled individuals against the backdrop of a beguiling Botswana as it enters the AIDS era. Highly recommended! Well written and lots of naturalist detail. Have you read Number One Ladies Detective Agency? You must read this true story of growing up in Botswana. A delightful read. read by Robyn Scott. Homeschooling in Botswana. Mama would love this. If you like this try Road from Coorain by Jill K Conway. It takes place in Australia and is also a wonderful child's story growing up in the outback. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
