Interesting background on Dan Eldon

2 stars

I became interested in this through Dan Eldon's beautiful journals. A little like the Eat, Pray, Love of its time I guess. Always wanted to live in Kenya, the beautiful land of Karen Blixen who stoked my interest. Amusing to think if I had gone I would have been the same age as Amy and Dan and might have even known them. Not a lot to recommend the book, but interesting read of the times and Dan Eldon's life.
