Novela autobiográfica de Stefanie Zweig, una maravillosa novela ambientada en Kenya, una historia de amor y supervivencia. La autora recrea la historia de su familia, una de las tantas familias judías que tuvieron que huir de Alemania durante el Holocausto. Los Redlich, obligados a abandonar su país llegan a Kenya dónde les espera una nueva vida. Su adaptación cinematográfica ha recibido el Oscar 2002 a la mejor película extranjera. This book was a bit of a disappointment. While the story is heartrending, Zweig's prose was "clunky" and really made it hard to engage with the characters. Too many of the high dramatic points dissolve in silent tears, until I'm wondering if the characters have any other means of expression. May be partly the fault of the translation. I found this a very interesting book, with a new view, to me, of the second world war. I was glad that sometime in the past, I read "Things Fall Apart". I felt that it gave me more insight into the native Africans in this story. I wish that the author had told us something about their lives after returning to Germany. I was so tired of Walter's whining that I really want to know if life was wonderful for the family after being repatriated, or if Walter was just a chronic pessimist. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Nowhere in Africa is the extraordinary tale of a Jewish family who flees the Nazi regime in 1938 for a remote farm in Kenya. Abandoning their once-comfortable existence in Germany, Walter Redlich, his wife Jettel, and their five-year-old daughter, Regina, each deal with the harsh realities of their new life in different ways. Attorney Walter is resigned to working the farm as a caretaker; pampered Jettel resists adjustment at every turn; while the shy yet curious Regina immediately embraces the country—learning the local language and customs, and finding a friend in Owuor, the farm's cook. As the war rages on the other side of the world, the family’s relationships with their strange environment become increasingly complicated as Jettel grows more self-assured and Walter more haunted by the life they left behind. In 1946, with the war over, Regina's fondest dream comes true when her brother Max is born. Walter's decision, however, to return to his homeland to help rebuild a new Germany puts his family into turmoil again.
