description: The long-awaited sequel to Susie Kelly's US &amp; UK Amazon #1 ranking memoir I Wish I Could Say I Was SorryMore than 40 years after leaving Kenya, Susie unexpectedly finds herself returning for a safari organised by an old friend. With her husband Terry, Susie sets off for a holiday touring the game reserves, but what she finds far exceeds her expectations.In this, her seventh, travelogue, she takes readers from five-star hotels to luxury tents in the wilderness, and to poverty in Nairobi's slums, describing a journey of joy, excitement, discovery, nostalgia, of new friendships and encounters of the very close kind with Kenya’s majestic wildlife.Forgotten memories come flooding back as she revisits the scenes of her childhood and adolescence, so movingly portrayed in her popular memoir I Wish I Could Say I Was Sorry , many of them changed beyond recognition.Written in her characteristic laid back style, this is a travel tale that will appeal to all those readers who have enjoyed Susie's previous books, as well as anybody who has lived in or dreams of visiting Kenya, the magical land Susie still thinks of as ‘home’."Hemingway 'I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.' That is how I feel about Kenya. You feel at once insignificant and amazing, just for being there. This magnificent, beautiful country, birthplace of mankind, owner of my heart." Susie KellyAnybody thinking of taking a safari holiday in Kenya, or who would like to take an armchair safari to Kenya, will love this vivid, moving and entertaining read
