Memoir Monday
Keena Roberts, the daughter of two primatologists, spent her childhood in Kenya in a remote primate camp. This memoir takes the reader on an adventurous tale through Roberts’ childhood eyes. When she was brought back to Philadelphia for a brief time, she finds herself lost in the American culture and in a big house with too little outdoor time. Roberts provides a window into African life without the narrative feeling like a fairy tale and she uses the contrast with middle class American life to enrich her story. An look at an unusual life that is a perfect read for a sunny summer day.
